Display count of nodes from the parent terms of a taxonomy where dummy nodes are based on the child terms of the parent terms of taxonomy 'State' is the vocabulary of my taxonomy where North, South, East &amp; West are parent terms with child terms like Montana, Texas, New York, Washington respectively which are states of USA. 

I've created some dummy nodes on based of the child terms from taxonomy, is there any way to display the count of nodes from the parent terms of that taxonomy, so that the result would be something like North 10, South 5 and so on
Try creating a Taxonomy View with the following settings.


field: taxonomy term/id
filter: taxonomy vocabulary; states vocabulary
contextual filter: taxonomy term parent; display summary, show link w/ count, set a base url for link


I have done something similar with a contextual filter of Taxonomy Term/ID and it works fine.  Should work with Term Parent.  you might have to add a relationship to content as well, not too sure but that should get you started.  Good luck!
