My past due report was showing the naked tasks without context, so I wanted to add the parent.
I added a helper column with '=(PARENT(Tasks@row)) and grouped the report by that column.
That works for some of the items, however here's the issue, some level 3 items have sub-tasks and others don't, so some tasks are at level 3, and some at level 4.
This means on my report, I'm seeing:
Level 3 item
- late level 4 task
- late level 4 task
Level 2 workstream (that is also the parent of the level 3 item above)
That "late level 3 task" now looks like it's in a whole separate stream, even though it's right below the "Level 3 Item" whose subtasks are late. It's too confusing to share and will be a trigger in meetings.
I tried putting "ancestors" instead of "parent" but it gives the same result.
Is there a way to show the complete hierarchy back 2 levels like when you filter the sheet itself?
