Count Children in the Next Column

Anthony Barthelemy

Smartsheet Community:

Does Anyone know if you can Create a Formula to Count the Children in the Next Column? For example, the Formula Below is for the Children in the Same Column (Column A).

=" Devs: " + COUNT(CHILDREN())

I would like to use that Same logic but to look in Column B for the Values.

Thanks

Hi @Ray B

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=" Devs: " + COUNT(CHILDREN(ColumnB@row))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

=" Devs: " + COUNT(CHILDREN(Resource@row))

I already have that Formula, but in looking at it again I answered my own question.

This is what I wanted lol

=COUNT(Resource@row)

I guess looking at these Formula too long can cause a person to overlook the easiest functions.

Thanks for Helping me See Clearly lol

@Andrée Starå Out of Curiosity Is there a Formula that will Count at the Children in Column B Only, but the Formula is in Column A?

Therefore, the Children in the Formula Row underneath are Empty Cells and the Column B has the Data and Column A Formula must look at the Children in Column B and Capture those Numbers.

Existing Formula for Children in the Same Column

=" Devs: " + COUNT(CHILDREN())
