[SOLVED]How to count the amount of children of a parent?
Greetings, and thank you in advance for helping a beginner at Smartsheet out.
so thanks to the formel ="<PARENTNAME> [" + (COUNT(CHILDREN())) + "]" I managed to count the amount of children a parent has in the parent row.
However now I would like to use that number(the amount of children) in a summary, but I just don't seem to be able to make the formel I want to use work.
To me something like this would make sense, but it does not work:
=COUNT(CHILDREN(), [<COLOUM>]:[<COLOUM>], "<PARENTNAME>")
I am going to be using the formel to count the amount of Task/Problems(the child) of a certain priority(The parent) there are for a summary.

Add the parent row cell reference to the CHILDREN() function. Like this
CHILDREN(ParentCell)
