I am trying to add values within cells in a child row that contain links to other sheets ... getting Total: 0 ... tried the below formula with no success ... any help would be soooo appreciated!
="Total: " + SUM(CHILDREN(Name2, Name17)
Try changing SUM to COUNT
Add one more close parenthesis at the end of your column.
="Total: " + SUM(CHILDREN(Name2, Name17))
I'm not sure either of those is the correct answer.
"add values" implies SUM not COUNT.
The System will (usually?) add that last paranthesis as an auto-correct (it adds both if needed) but without warning you.
You formula is looking at the CHILDREN of row 2 and the CHILDREN of row 17.
If row 2 and row 17 are not parents, then the sum will be 0.
Are you trying instead of sum the values of row 2 THROUGH row 17?
That would be this:
="Total: " + SUM(Name2:Name17)
A screen shot would make it easier to help.
