Hi there. I have a multiple select column that contains seven audience types, which have been added in a different order (no set pattern).


I also know how big these audiences are (eg Generalists = 4406).


I’m trying to write a formula that returns a total audience based on whatever has been selected in that multiple select box.


EG if “Generalists” and “Digital” have been selected, in any order, it counts 4406 + 106


I can write an IF command to create a value for an exact match in the box (e.g. ONLY says “Generalists”), but stuck on how writing this more complete form.


Any help gratefully received!

Hey @John_V_Willshire,


You have to use a combination of nested formulas in the following structure:


IF( 
AND(
REGEX_MATCH({multiple_select},"value 1")=1,
REGEX_MATCH({multiple_select},"value 2"=1),
) ,
"The multiple select hase both value 1 and value 2 selected" ,
"Add here the nested IF in the same logic"
)

Please tell me if it works for you and if you need any further support feel free to text us back.


Yours sincerely,

Dimitris Goudis
