Need formula to count spinoffs

[jamescarvin]

I have a sample of data I created and I'm trying to figure out how to
count the total number of direct and indirect referrals there are for
each member in a group. I have ...
Column A = User #
Column E = y/n (whether they paid for an upgrade)
Column F = Sponsor's User # (this will match a User # in Column A)
Column G = Total upgraded members personally sponsored)

For column G I figured out how to take criteria for two rows and count
them, then do an autofill of a formula for every row in column G. I
used ...
=SUMPRODUCT((E4:E103="y")*(F4:F103=A#)), where # was the row#.

This gave me the total upgraded members that were personally sponsored
by the person whose user # was associated with a row.

Now, I need column H and this is the tricky part. I need to count the
INDIRECT upgrades for each user. So if user 2 sponsored users
5,7,9,11,13,15 and user 5 sponsored users 6,8,10,12,14 and user 6
sponsored user 16,18,20,22 and user 16 sponsored users 17,19,21,23 then
what formula could I use to count the total number of upgraded members
in the chain started by User 2?

Along with that is another question: suppose I want one count for third
tier sponsorships and another count for second tier sponsorships and
another count for fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and
tenth tier sponsorships, and a final count for all indirect
sponsorships no matter how indirect?

Can this be done with a formula?

Should I take it from the fact that there have been no replies to my
post that nobody has an answer, that there is no answer, or that maybe
my subject wasn't clear?

If you don't have any formula suggestions, any suggestions on how I
could reword the subject? Maybe I can edit it. Thanks!
