CHILDREN of two columns
I was trying to reference the children of two columns @row in a MIN(COLLECT()) function.
Currently, I am only able to use two separate COLLECT() ---
MIN(COLLECT(CHILDREN(col1@row, criteriaRange1, criteria1), COLLECT(CHILDREN(col2@row, criteriaRange1, criteria1))
But when I arrange the two columns together, MIN(COLLECT(CHILDREN(col1@row:col2@row), criteriaRange1, criteria1)), the result is #UNPARSEABLE.
Is there any way to make the formula shorter?

Hey @CeliaC
Yes, you're right. You would need to use MIN(COLLECT around each Child rows with the criteria, then get the MIN of that as well:
=MIN(MIN(COLLECT(CHILDREN(col1@row), criteriaRange1, criteria1)), MIN(COLLECT(CHILDREN(col2@row), criteriaRange1, criteria1)))
Let me know if that makes sense and works for you!
Cheers,
Genevieve

I realized that CHILDREN() only applies to a single cell - I'll have to use parallel formulas to refer to the childre cells in multiple columns.
