Happy holidays to everyone… just a quick question for anybody once you’re back at work 🙂

I am trying to `count()` the amount of pages with a multiselect field.

In this case, the multiselct field is **artworkType**.

```auto
<?php
if($page->artworkType()->isNotEmpty()):
$siblings = $page->siblings()->listed();
$types = $siblings->pluck('artworkType', ',', true);
foreach($page->artworkType()->split() as $artworkType): ?>

<div>
 There are <?= $siblings->filterBy('types', $artworkType, ',')->count() ?> <?= $artworkType ?> in the database.
</div>

<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endif ?>

```

I am only getting **0** as the count number. ☹

What for this line?

Not sure but I guess, should be `artworkType` instead of `types`, like that:

```php
->filterBy('artworkType', $artworkType, ',')
```
