Hi Hilary, thanks so much. I've got two lists, one is for vendors which has a multiselect for work category, as a vendor can sign up for a few. then in the next list I want to count the amount of times a vendor has been selected for their work category on the second list (the form i attached). so in the repeating table I would like only vendors who match the work category selected above to show up, then a count every time their name comes up in vendorsent1-5. I don't even know if this is possible, but I cant even get the vendors to show properly in the repeating table, let along count their name in 5 different columns (shouldn't be hard???).
