It would be great if the COUNTIF and the COUNTIFS formulas were implemented in Airtable. I use them in most of my excel spreadsheets, and it is a little frustrating not being able to use it here. Are there any plans to add more formulas?
I am trying to count all instances across multiple columns for a specific record for a certain word. I do this in excel quite easily with COUNTIF. I will have to scrap using this product for this reason.
Another request for COUNTIF please! We are using Airtable across several organizations to track the progress of a project, completing a survey of historic dance halls in Texas. Every quarter, I need to report the total number of halls that meet each of 7 status conditions. A COUNTIF formula would make this easy – instead, I guess I have to download the spreadsheet out of Airtable to run the calculation every time. Kind of ridiculous when you consider how basic a formula COUNTIF is.
Just signed up to a trial of Airtable to find this thread. I need this simple formula =COUNTIF($H$2:$H,G2) to count how many instances of an affiliate referral code has been used. strange that it’s not possible. But maybe I don’t know how to use the platform properly yet.
Hello! We are working on an extension that will allow you to add COUNTIF & COUNTIFS and other criteria formulas (eg. SUMIF) to Airtable. Our solution is no-code and will take to minutes add to your tables:

The best way to get this working natively that I’ve found is to use regex. For example, trying to count all occurrences of Active. It requires , and 1 to not be a part of the text. I only tested this with a Rollup.
ARRAYCOMPACT - remove empty string and null from values ARRAYJOIN - join rest of values with comma to have a deliminator REGEX_REPLACE 2 - replace all occurrences of Active followed by a comma or end of string with 1 followed by a comma or end of string REGEX_REPLACE 1 - replace anything that isn’t a 1 LEN - return length of string, which is the count of 1s
If REGEX_REPLACE supported it, ideally Active(,|$) would be (?<=^|,)Active(,|$) to enforce the presence of the deliminator or start of string.
