Which function references the range of rows that are indented below another row?

1. ANCESTORS()

2. CHILDREN()

3. PARENT()

4. INDEX()

The correct answer is: CHILDREN()

The function that references the range of rows that are indented below another row is CHILDREN(). This function is specifically designed to return a range of child rows associated with a parent row, allowing users to easily access and manipulate the data that is structured beneath this parent level. When a row is indented in Smartsheet, it signifies a hierarchical relationship where the indented rows (children) are associated with the parent row directly above them. The CHILDREN() function simplifies working with this hierarchy, allowing you to extract relevant data for calculations or reporting purposes accurately. This feature is particularly useful for managing projects, where subtasks are indented under their main tasks. The other functions listed serve different purposes. ANCESTORS() retrieves the chain of parent rows leading up to a specified row, PARENT() returns the immediate parent of the specified row, and INDEX() is used to return the value at a specified position in a range or array. Thus, CHILDREN() is the most appropriate choice for referencing indented row ranges.
