Counting two columns

alexandra.richardson

Hi! I want to be able to count two columns next to each other (my subproject and task columns, which I use symbols to denote respectfully). I can figure out how to do the one column - =COUNT(CHILDREN([SUBPROJECT:]@row)) but can't figure out how to add on to my equation to also count my task column, which is called TASK:

To find the count of subproject children and task children you can add the two results together using +

=COUNT(CHILDREN([SUBPROJECT:]@row)) + COUNT(CHILDREN([TASK:]@row))

I did that and it gave me a duplicate number. For example, one project had 2 subprojects and no tasks. But it gave me a total number of 4...

Can you share a screenshot of your sheet? You can obscure anything that should not be shared publicly.
