Using COUNTIF and CONTAINS to count the number of times a word is found in a children rows.

shayla.claire

Hi I am trying to find a way to count the number of child rows that contain the word "Updated" and have a combined total of the number of rows that contain "Updated" in each of the levels of ancestor rows.

Thus far my formula is: =COUNTIF(DESCENDANTS([Packaging Job]@row), CONTAINS("Updated", DESCENDANTS([Packaging Job]@row)))

Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

Hi @shayla.claire

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIF(DESCENDANTS([Packaging Job]@row), CONTAINS("Updated", @cell))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,
