How to indicate a row is a Parent row Yes/No
Hello,
I need to create a column where it indicates if the row is a Parent row. I tried with =Parent() but it does not return anything. I need this column to create a lot of other formula columns where different conditions apply.
In Microsoft Project, they have a default column call "Summary", which does the same thing. It tells you if this row is a summary row or not (see picture). I would appreciate if you can help to build this one. Thank you.
Regards,
Ngan

Hi Ngan,
Try this:
=if(count(children())>0,"Yes","No")
This should count how many children that row has, and if it has any, it will display yes; otherwise, no.
Best,
Heather
