Formula to only include status of parent rows and the contact assigned to them
Hi folks,
I'm trying to create a COUNTIFS formula that calculates the number of "In Progress", "Issue/At Risk", "Postponed", and "Complete" statuses that a specific contact has (in this case, the user assigned in the "Lifecycle Lead Column"). The problem I'm having is that I only want to count the parent rows, not the children rows. Is there a logical way to go about this?
I should note that I've also created a helper column and have attached a screenshot of the sheet below for reference. Thanks a bunch for your time.

If you only have the contact on the rows you want to count, then you should be able to use a basic COUNTIFS.

Thanks Paul! Do you know the best way to do a COUNTIF on a status that would exclude the child rows? I just want the blue parent rows counted.

If you only have the contact entered in the blue rows then you wouldn't need to worry about excluding the child rows.
