Counting tasks with specific field value

Hi,
We have a lot of different tasks in one project, divided into multiple sections. Each task has a ‘category’ assigned (custom field). We would like to be able to count the tasks with a certain category in the entire project. When sorting or filtering for the category in the list view, only tasks of this type within one section are numbered (show task row numbers set active), so currently we have to add the numbers from the different sections manually.
It would be great if we could filter for the category in the ‘progress’ tab, so we would also get the statistics on overdue and incomplete tasks at the same time.

Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum @Martina :wave: and thank you for sharing your feedback with us!

What about running an Advanced Search for tasks in a particular Project and add the Custom Field filter. You could also filter by Completed or Incomplete Tasks if you wish to. Please see screenshot attached:

You could then save the Search as a Report to easily access in the future. Please, learn how to save your Search views as Reports in the following article:

I hope this helps Martina! Please let me know if you have any follow-up question!
Happy Friday! :slight_smile:
