Formula column for Parent Rows only
Hello,
I want to use a formula column for parent rows that calculates the % remaining of POs we're tracking. I want the cells in the column for children to be blank and not display a result for % remaining. Is this possible? If so, can you assist me with the formula?
I am using this formula for the parent rows: =(Amount@row - Balance@row) / Amount@row but need to add in the logic to blank out the children row cells.
Thanks

Hi @BB2791
I hope you're well and safe!
Try something like this.
=IFERROR(IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([PO Number]@row)) > 0, (Amount@row - Balance@row) / Amount@row), "")
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Andrée Starå yes, that worked! Thank you and have a nice day

Hi again @Andrée Starå I realized that I would like to add to the formula you provided a provision that if a parent row doesn't have a child row, it should still calculate the percentage (in which case that will always be 100%). Is that possible?
