Formula to Summarize Multi Select Text by Group rather than Groupings


Hi QuickBase Friends,

I have a multi select text field that I need to summarize by group rather than by grouping.

I started the formula with the following: (I am getting a message expecting a textlist, which is what I thought I provided). I have lost myself in my own formula. Have others run into this?

var textlist counterif=textList(",",ToBoolean([Linked to Priority Strategic Aim]))
If (Contains([PC 1.0 Readmission rate],"PC 1.0 Readmission rate"),1,0),
If (Contains([PC 2.0 Hospital Acquired Infection rate],"PC 2.0 Hospital Acquired Infection rate"),1,0),
If (Contains([PC 3.0 Clinical Care Coordination],"PC 3.0 Clinical Care Coordination"),1,0),

    Can you explain further.

    Are you saying that you have a list of say 6 choices but in your mind some of them are Group A and some are Group B and you want to know how many A's and how many B's?

    I have a list of multi text selections that have about 25 items.

    When I summarize the fields, a table displays the selections by grouping:

    Item 1      = 1
    Item 1, 5  = 1
    Item 1, 3  = 1

    This is not what I am looking for, therefore, I thought I could write a formula that recognized the group rather than the grouping.

    Item 1 = 3
    Item 3 = 1
    Item 5 = 1
