Column L44 with groups. ultimately ends up inside an if, but just trying base formula to eliminate everything else.
#UNPARSEABLE
=CONTAINS("In", CHILDREN(L44))
=CONTAINS("In", CHILDREN(L44@row))
#INVALID COLUMN VALUE
=CONTAINS("In", CHILDREN())
@vanZylin the CONTAINS function is used within another function as per the help article https://help.smartsheet.com/function/contains?frame=0&nav=1
Depending what you are looking to achieve, a few options below:
Are you able to provide some screenshots for context?
Are you sure you are putting it on a parent row, and how are you using this after the CONTAINS function? The above screenshot should be working.
I know it should be working - that's why I'm pulling out hair...
Anyway, created new sheet (screenshot below), very simple very rudimental. Still getting errors on contains.
CONTAINS will output a true/false value, so it can be used as a standalone in a checkbox type column. If it is not used in a checkbox column, it will need to be used inside of another function. If you run into another issue where a part of a formula is not working, it helps to provide screenshots as well as the entire formula for context.
