Formula combining COUNT,DISTINCT & CONTAINS

Screenshot 2023-08-05 at 11.46.28 AM.jpg

Hello SS Community,

Can you guide me on a formula to deal with the above data set?

In plain english, I need a Count of Distinct strings in the 'Release Set No." column Containing "Annual"

The answer in this case would be 8.

Is this possible on SS?

Thanks for your help!

It would look like this:<\/p>

=COUNT(DISTINCT(COLLECT([Release Set No.]:[Release Set No.], [Release Set No.]:[Release Set No.], CONTAINS(\"Annual\", @cell))))<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":108611,"type":"question","name":"Formula to show only certain parent row names","excerpt":"Hello!
