Counting Parent Rows

Good Morning,

I have smartsheet Parent and Child rows. How do I count the parent rows? Also, how do I COUNTIF for parent rows that meet a certain criteria?

Thank you so much for the help!

    Hi,

    Create a text/number helper column [level] with the formula =Count(ANCESTORS()).

    Parent rows will have a value of 0. Use level:level, 0 in your COUNTIFS formula to include parent rows.

    To add other criteria your formula will use the syntax::

    =COUNTIFS( level:level, 0 , [other range]:[other range], Other criteria)

    For help with formula syntax see the link below.
