Consecutive Count of Children
Please help. This seems like it should be a fairly simple answer, but I’ve worked on this for hours with no success. I would like a count formula that counts the Children, and numbers them consecutively. I can then use an embedded IF statement to calculate specific hours attributed to each Child. This simple formula, =COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), 0) outputs the number of Children in the Parent cell, but leaves a "0" in each Child cell.
I'm looking for, if a Parent has six Children, give each Child row a consecutive count number 1,2,3,4,5,6…. If a Parent row leave blank.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks much, Tamara

I forgot to mention, this is a very large project sheet with numerous parent rows so it would have to run throughout the column, with each parent starting a new consecutive count of the corresponding children. Thanks

@Tamara I believe I responded on your other post asking for a screenshot with sensitive/confidential data removed, blocked and/or replaced with "dummy data" as needed.
