Total Float - No Longer Working - Returns Invalid Value
I added "Total Float" to my schedule in late March.
The calculation appeared to be working correctly at the time.
Over the past few weeks, I noticed more and more activities would return "#invalid value".
Now everything in the Total Float column as "#invalid value".
Is there something that I need to do to refresh this column?
I have tried to delete and replace the column. Note that "Dependencies" are turned on.

Hi @sdb60411
I agree that it would be helpful to see your sheet (without sensitive data). I know that TotalFloat does not always work if there are more than 1 predecessors listed in the row, so if you have multiple values in that column this could be the cause.

Yes. I have multiple predecessors against many of the tasks. If it doesn't work with multiple predecessors, then that may very well be my issue.

Hi,
I hope you're well and safe!
Can you share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

@Genevieve P. - I have a sheet with multiple predecessors on many of the rows. How can I caculate Total Float? Is this a product enhancement that has yet to be developed?
