How do I just display count of Child pages without listing all the pages ?

How do I just only display count of Child pages  as a dashboard without listing all the child pages. 

Child Page macro gives me all the list, But I need to get the count of the child pages. Is there a Macro or a way to generate this ?

Hi @bhanu shankar ahir,

I made a User Macros for you, what is giving back only the descendants count. You can copy and paste it in your Confluence:
Confluence administration -> User Macros -> Create a User Macro

This seems to include pages that are in trash. Is there a way to exclude those?
