    Is there a way to count the number of selections in a multiselect dropdown field?

    I need to use this number in a calculation field

    Hi @drteddy,

    To count the number of selections, you could do the following:

    1. Enable “Separate value” in your multiselect dropdown field.
    2. You’ll need to add a 1 to the end of each saved value so each option will be counted as 1 in your total.
    3. Add a text or number field that will hold the total count.
    4. In the field options, select “Default Value (Calculations)” and insert the Dropdown field ID to populate.

    Hope this helps!

    That worked! Thank you…. But I have another question.

    I want a condition in the calculation like this.

    If the number=1 then display something

    If the number=2 then display something else

    If the number=3 then display something else again

    Is that possible? Thanks again….
