This is likely an elementary question, but I am having a challenge to get the formula for the Count of Children when I have the formula, for example, in a column B cell and I want to count the children of column A. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Cindy,
I don't know what you are doing wrong because i can't see your formula
Here is my example. =COUNT(CHILDREN(A1))
I hope this helps you!

Thank you so much.
That worked, duh.
Now one more a little trickier:
Column "Month" is the parent. The children include names and other contact details for people who have filled out an online form to RSVP to a class.. RSVP is a column and each child has populated "Yes, No, or Maybe".
Currently my formula for the RSVP is: =COUNTIF(RSVP473:RSVP511, "Yes")
But, this requires me to constantly maintain the formula settings (e.g. rows 473 through row 511) each month as RSVP's come in.
How can I get a count of "Yes" RSVP's based on the children of Parent "Month" (row 472)
Hi again Cindy,
Happy to help!
Heres for the trickier one.
Andrée

Hey, Is anyone else facing this issue in the approval notifications sent through smartsheet
I have a sheet with a list of customers in one column, and then the following columns are City, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I need help with a formula that I can put in my sheet summary so that if the customer column says Staples (It can say this in multiple rows) that it will tell me the total package…
Hi Smartsheet community, I've always tried to answer questions but this is my first time posting. So I have formula =IF([Project Status]@row = "Complete", 1, 0) set up in the "Complete Check - Hide column" to check the box when the project status is marked complete. The project status column is tied to several other sheets…
