Help with Children Function

I am using =COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "") + " Missing Data" which works fine. I am trying to modify this to only show a value if there is missing data otherwise be blank. I have tried numerous iterations of the IF command and always end up with "Unparsable". Any suggestions?

Thanks

How'bout this?

=IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "") > 0, "Missing data", "")

Thanks. I used =COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "") + IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "") > 0, "Missing data", "") which gives me ether a "0" or "2 Missing data". so my next step will be to kill the "0".

Just add another IF

=IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "") + IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "") > 0, "Missing data", "") = 0, "")
