I may have worded this poorly but I'll explain. I have a legislation tracker and what I would like to do the following:
I have a column in which I would like to count the number of times a given legislator has co-sponsored legislation that we support. I had found a formula that would allow me to count the number of times a given legislator is mentioned in this particular column. Here is that formula:
=counta(IFERROR(filter(flatten(iferror(split(Legislation!$G$2:G$200,", ",false))),match(flatten(iferror(split(Legislation!$G$2:$G$200,", ",false))),split(A2,", ",false),0))))
The above formula accurately counts the number of times the selected legislator (A2 is the legislator) is mentioned in the co-sponsor column. The co-sponsor column is a multi-select dropdown that includes every co-sponsor for each bill.
I want to filter (I guess maybe?) down to only cells in the Co-sponsor column (column G of Legislation tab) that we Support (column D of Legislation tab)
