'How to count values if option checked is selected in one cell
I have a spreadsheet where users fill out a form, they have multiple options they can pick by clicking the checkboxes.
The responses sheets looks like this
I want to filter the results by option, so my main goal is to get the total amount of options selected:

I've been trying with COUNTIF but it's not working because I'm not selecting the specific response
=COUNTIF('Form Responses 1'!C2:F4,"*"&$B$1&"*")
I'm assuming I need to add a VLOOKUP but I'm not sure how to match it with the option
Here's a spreadsheet to play around with it
Solution 1:[1]
try:
=INDEX({QUERY(TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(A2:A&"×"&SPLIT(B2:B, ",")), "×")),
"select Col1,count(Col1) where Col2 is not null group by Col1 pivot Col2 label Col1 'Person'");
{"Total", TRANSPOSE(MMULT(TRANSPOSE(QUERY(QUERY(TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(A2:A&"×"&SPLIT(B2:B, ",")), "×")),
"select count(Col1) where Col2 is not null group by Col1 pivot Col2"), "offset 1", )*1),
SEQUENCE(COUNTUNIQUE(TRIM(FLATTEN(SPLIT(TEXTJOIN(",", 1, B2:B), ",")))), 1, 1, )))}})
Solution 2:[2]
Perhaps a formula like this:
=IFNA(QUERY({$A$2:$A$6, $B$2:$B$6}, "Select 1 where Col2 contains '"&B$9&"' and Col1 = '"&$A10&"' order by Col1 label 1 ''"), 0)
This outputs a 1 if the referenced cell contains the specified text, and a 0 otherwise. See the docs for the Query Function and the Query Language for more information.
