Level Formula Not Working

ejrbean

Hi!

I have been using the same level formula for a while, but for some reason on a newly created sheet, my formula isn't working, and I can't figure out why. Here is a screenshot of the relevant columns:

The formula I've entered is:

=(IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([Study Protocol]@row)) > 0, COUNT(ANCESTORS([Study Protocol]@row)) + 1))

I've also tried:

=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([Study Protocol]@row)) > 0, COUNT(ANCESTORS()) + 1)

Neither is resulting in a number being entered into the "Level" column for any of the rows, parent or child. Can anyone determine what is incorrect in my formula?

Hi @ejrbean

I hope you're well and safe!

This one should work. (same as yours)

=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([Study Protocol]@row)) > 0, COUNT(ANCESTORS()) + 1)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Hi @Andrée Starå - For some reason it is still not working. I tried pasting it into cells individually and converting it to a column formula with no success. I haven't had a problem on my other sheets that use this formula, so I don't know what the problem is here. I created this sheet from a template, so maybe if I try making it from scratch it will work.

Strange!

I'd be happy to take a quick look.

Can you maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s)? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

Sure! Thanks so much for being so willing to help! I'll share in just a moment.
