Hi Kam,
Have you tried the new DESCENDANTS function?
More info: https://help.smartsheet.com/function/descendants
Try this.
=COUNTIF(DESCENDANTS(), "Ahead")
Did it work?
Have a fantastic weekend!
Best,

That worked, thanks!
=COUNTIF(DESCENDANTS(Status1), "Complete")

Ok.
Can you maybe share the sheet(s) or some more screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
