    You should be able to get there using

    = COUNT(ANCESTORS(insert your column@row here))

    That should return 0 for all top level parent rows & rows without any children but the children rows should result in 1. (If you indent more than one level the middle will be 1 and the most inner/indented will be 2 and so on…
