Date Formula
Hi Brain Trust
I have a sheet with Parent row - with a sub Phase row and then the children - example below
I need the
Light Grey Cells to reflect the earliest date of the children underneath it
The Dark Grey Cells to reflect the earliest date of the light grey cells - there are several of these sub phases
Light Blue Cell to reflect the earliest date of all the dark grey cells(phases)
Is this do able??

For the earliest date formula with children you can use =MIN(CHILDREN()). For the latest use MAX.
In my experience when this is needed, I try to make it so no information is manually inputted into the parent rows. That way the parent rows can be locked. Otherwise users tend to not realize there's a formula there and input values over it.
I hope that helps.
