I am trying to use a simple formula to count my number of different colored symbols in a column, RYG. I have many parent rows with 6 children each. 14 of the parent rows have a green symbol and all the others are currently blank, no symbols whatsoever. The formula I'm testing is =Count([Count Green:Count Green], ="green"). The column is named Count Green and is just a test column. The formula is returning a value of 15. I did a filter for all of the green symboled rows and I can visually verify that there are 14 green symbols.

My question: Why is the formula returning a value of 15 and not 14?
