ISNUMBER(SEARCH( range

Hello All, 

 

I am trying to count the unique values in column K, assuming column O has west and column C is less <= 200. The below is the formula I am using, but I get a 1. 

 

=COUNTA(UNIQUE(FILTER('Iri Comp Data'!$K:$K,ISNUMBER(SEARCH("West",'Iri Comp Data'!$O:$O,ISNUMBER(SEARCH("<=200",'Iri Comp Data'!$C:$C)))))))

 

I don't know if I am allowed to search for a range in a isnumber function?

 

Help? best way to go about what I am trying to achive?

 

Thanks!

    Hi Renattae_Schmidt 

     

    In what you posted there's an uncertainty regarding the content of column C in 'Iri Comp Data'. Assuming that column contains Numbers and not Text values, the following should do what you want (sample attached):

     

    =COUNTA(
    UNIQUE(
        FILTER('Iri Comp Data'!K:K,
            ('Iri Comp Data'!C:C <= 200)
          * ISNUMBER(SEARCH("west",'Iri Comp Data'!O:O))
        )
    )
)

    Sample attached

     

    If this doesn't work please upload & share a workbook, i.e. with OneDrive, Google Drive... and post the link here
