Risk Formula (Red, Yellow, Green)

ChristineB

I am using the formula below to automatically calculate risk. I am using percent complete of a task against time complete off the start and end dates.

=IF([%CMPLT]@row >= (NETDAYS(TODAY(), [End Date]@row) / NETDAYS([Start Date]@row, [End Date]@row)), "Green", IF([%CMPLT]@row > 0, "Yellow", "Red"))

So if my start and end date calculates 50% of the time complete and we only have 30% of that task done we will get a "Yellow" orb.

This formula works great if we have current start dates. But if the start date is in the future the orb turns red. I don't know how to make a condition saying if start date is in the future default the orb to "green."

Any help would be much appreciated.

YES!

=IF([Start Date]@row > TODAY(), "Green", IF([%CMPLT]@row >= (NETDAYS(TODAY(), [End Date]@row) / NETDAYS([Start Date]@row, [End Date]@row)), "Green", IF([%CMPLT]@row > 0, "Yellow", "Red"))

This worked, thank you so much!

=IF([Start Date]@row > TODAY(), "Green", IF[%CMPLT]@row >= (NETDAYS(TODAY(), [End Date]@row) / NETDAYS([Start Date]@row, [End Date]@row)), "Green", IF([%CMPLT]@row > 0, "Yellow", "Red"))

This should fix the problem, as it will first look for any that are starting in the future and make those green, before looking at any of the other values.
