Hi all,
Overview: I'm looking for a way to have more than 1 '% complete' column in a sheet
Application: I'm building a project compliance matrix which will have a row for each requirement, and multiple columns for associated tasks. I'm not using this as a schedule / GANTT, but have turned on dependencies as this allowed me to build a WBS structure and use parent / child relationships to automatically calculate %C at varying depths.
Problem: I need to monitor more than one task for each row, and have created %-formatted columns to suit (Performance / Documentation / Testing). Unfortunately, the project settings only allows selection of a single column to capture sheet % complete. I can understand why, but still want to make these columns calculate properly, even if there can only be one 'official' project % complete value.
Approach: I thought about setting up a formula to average %C of row children which would be fine for this application. Problem is this can't be a column formula since the column includes both task (manual) and rollup (formula) values, and I don't want to mix manual entry with formulas since this won't scale automatically as new rows are added or nested. Would be less worried if this wasn't a shared / collaborative document.
Feels like this is probably not possible on the front end, while being technically possible as evidenced by the existing project %C functionality. Still, figured I'd ask for any clever workarounds that might get me the output I'm after despite this not being a standard capability.
Thanks in advance!
