Good evening
VERY NEW to smartsheet.
I am creating a metrics sheet for data we want to capture on another sheet.
How do I get the QTY of "beam" counts in this column?
Thank you
Hi,
I'd recommend counting and collect the metrics needed on the sheet first and then use cell linking to the metric sheet if needed.
Try this.
=COUNTIF([Piece Type]:[Piece Type]; "Beam")
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=COUNTIF([Piece Type]:[Piece Type], "Beam")
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Let me know if you still want/need to collect it directly on the metric sheet, and if you need information on how to set up cross-sheet linking.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic weekend!

Good evening,
Sorry to bother, but I thought I got this to work but I am getting an "unparseable" error.....
I have the formula as =COUNTIF([Piece Type]23:[Piece Type]352),"Other") but it is not counting
What could I be doing wrong here?
Thanks
No worries! I'm always happy to help!
You have one parenthesis too much. The one after 352 shouldn't be there.
=COUNTIF([Piece Type]23:[Piece Type]352),"Other")
Did it work?
YES!!!!!
Thank you!
I'm always happy to help!
Is it possible to use the "children" function here? so that as more rows get added to the bottom we do not need to update formula everytime?
Yes, try this.
=COUNTIF(CHILDREN([Piece Type]22), "Other")
Hmmm, this formula gives me the proper count of 5 -
=COUNTIF([Fab Type]27:[Fab Type]372, "Bolt/Weld")
But when I change it to
=COUNTIF(CHILDREN([Fab Type]27), "Bolt/Weld")
It comes up as 0 ?
It's probably because you're referencing a child row and not the parent row.
If it's the same row as on your picture, then try changing it to row 22.
BINGO!

I have a form that will be filled out internally. There's a cell labeled "Department" which contains 8 dropdown list values. There's a another cell called "Executives" which are the leaders of these departments. In the form, I'm attempting to do a logic where when you choose a specific "Department", then the cell…
I shared access to a user to a specific folder under workspace A (folder is 2025-09-Service Factory). However, I can see that he's shown to have access to all the other child folders under 02-ACTIVE Initiatives. Why is that when I only shared out one folder? Is there a way to only share access to users to ONLY specific…
