Formula for only Children rows but excludes Parent rows
Comments
-
You might need 2 helper columns to identify parent or child rows. Then build your formula with a qualifier to check the helper row first before moving forward. We use these two:
Level - To identify what level down we are on
=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([Task Name]@row)) > 0, COUNT(ANCESTORS()) + 1)
Task - To identify actual task or child rows
=IF(Level@row >= 1, 0, 1)
Task is a Checkbox column type. It will check the box if child. It would be easy enough to run a query against it first before doing your formula in whatever column you are using.
