% Formula based on another column

Morris R

Hello - looking for a formula for reading another column drop down selection (Not started, In progress, Blocked, Complete). So when drop down is selected percentage column changes base don that value.

Not Started = 0%

In Progress = 50%

Blocked = 0%

Complete = 100%

thank you in advance

Hi @Morris R,

You can do this with a nested IF (make sure your Percentage column is set to % from the tool bar):

=IF(Status@row = "Complete", 1, IF(Status@row = "In Progress", 0.5, IF(OR(Status@row = "Not Started", Status@row = "Blocked"), 0, "")))

This should give the relevant percentage for the status types outlined and otherwise be blank.

Hope this helps, but if you've any problems/questions then just let us know!

Hi @Morris R ,

You can use a nested IF statement to do that. I'd recommend making it a column formula as well.

=IF([Status Dropdown]@row = "Complete", 1, IF([Status Dropdown]@row = "In Progress", 0.5, IF([Status Dropdown]@row = "Blocked", 0, IF([Status Dropdown]@row = "Not Started", 0, "--"))))
