Basic question on COUNT formula

Hi - new to SmartSheet, so forgive the basic question. If I just wanted to count the values in the rows that are blue and NOT the child rows, how would I go about doing that? Thanks in advance.

    You could create a helper column called "Level" with a column formula as shown below. Then count the rows where Level equals 0.

    =COUNT(ANCESTORS())

    Thank you! That worked. Wonder if you could help me on another problem. In the column called "TA", I'd like to count the number of times that "SC/SE" is used and the number of times "Cross TA" is used. Any recommendations in terms of formulas? Thanks in advance.
