Thanks but didn't work - here is formula I have -
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("good",raw_data!$E$2:$E$8002))*(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B4,LEFT(raw_data!$W$2:$W$8002,2)) ))))).

What I am trying to do is match how many people said GOOD (for example) from
a particular division column W. If I put in countif it messes it up...

Without seeing the data it would be difficult to suggest but will the below
work?

=COUNTIF(A:A,"*good*")-COUNTIF(A:A,"*not*")

OR
'count all responses minus count entries having not, bad etc;
=COUNTA(A:A)-COUNTIF(A:A,"*not*")

If this post helps click Yes

of say good there are sheet counts all that have good i.e. very good, not
very good etc - can anyone help me?
