= formula to + only the values in parental row
Hi, I need help to put a formalua that will only + the values of the parental row in my helper column
I have example below, I need to convert the "Helper Need" column to a formula column but that will only + the values in the parental row... I don't want the "Helper Don't" to happen (which is happening right now if I convert to the column formula)
The formula I'm using right now is a simple "=Element@row + Size@row + Class@row"

I hope you're well and safe!
Not sure I follow! What do you want the Helper Need column to show? Can you write out an example?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
Best,

Hi Andrée, thanks for your rapid response! Hope you are having a nice day!
I need the "Helper Need" to show exactly what is in there, the "+" of Element, Size and Class... so in case of the first row "WaterBigGood"
The problem I'm having is when I turn that column in a formula column the "Helper Don't" happens, and I don't want the "+" of the children row to happen...
Not sure if I was clear, please let me know if you need more info

I tried something here but it counted the other way around lol, need to count only the parental row
-
The "parental row" I mean would be the ones that have "Water", "Fire" and "Earth"

Happy to help!
Try something like this.
=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN(Element@row)) > 0, JOIN(Element@row:Class@row))
Did that work=

Hi Andreé, it worked!
I Just replaced the "Join(A:B)" to =IF(COUNT(CHILDREN(Element@row)) > 0, A+B) because sometimes I have columns that I need "+" and are not next to each other
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
