Counting Parents for a Specific Year
Our organization receives requests for work and some of these requests may have multiple actions that need to be completed. I have the additional action(s) indented under the first action (request) to try and display that this one request had multiple actions. Is there a way that I can count the level one action (request) for each year in a metric sheet, so I can show the number or requests along with the total actions that needed to be taken for a given year?

You would need to add a helper column on the source sheet with a formula of
=COUNT(ANCESTORS())
Then in your metrics sheet you would adjust your COUNTIFS to also incorporate this column looking for 0 (zero).
