This is likely an elementary question, but I am having a challenge to get the formula for the Count of Children when I have the formula, for example, in a column B cell and I want to count the children of column A. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Cindy,
I don't know what you are doing wrong because i can't see your formula
Here is my example. =COUNT(CHILDREN(A1))
I hope this helps you!

Thank you so much.
That worked, duh.
Now one more a little trickier:
Column "Month" is the parent. The children include names and other contact details for people who have filled out an online form to RSVP to a class.. RSVP is a column and each child has populated "Yes, No, or Maybe".
Currently my formula for the RSVP is: =COUNTIF(RSVP473:RSVP511, "Yes")
But, this requires me to constantly maintain the formula settings (e.g. rows 473 through row 511) each month as RSVP's come in.
How can I get a count of "Yes" RSVP's based on the children of Parent "Month" (row 472)
Hi again Cindy,
Happy to help!
Heres for the trickier one.
Andrée
