How to use "Countif" with reference to CHILDREN in another sheet

Hello - I need some help with the children formula. I am trying to reference another sheet and only pull info from the children of specific hierarchies.

The only way that I can do it, as of now and with my current skill set, is if I select all of the actual children. I realize this will be out of formula as soon as more children come into this hierarchy.

"=COUNTIF({FDB Archive Sales - Qualified Lost Range 2}, [Primary Column]19)"

Any help on how to use the CHILDREN function with referencing another sheet would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Jef

Children doesn't work across sheets regretfully.

Your best bet is to use the COLLECT formula with an identifier in the row.

I was thinking something similar to Luke's suggestion. You can use a checkbox column on the first sheet with something along the lines of

=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN()) = 0, 1)

to automatically check the box if the row in question has no children rows underneath of it (lowest hierarchy).

You can then use a COUNTIFS statement and add in the range and criteria of

........., [Helper Column]:[Helper Column], @cell = 1)
