Why is my percent complete not updating?
I have a project plan which pulls in data from a
other referenced sheet. We track our development in a tracker, and have a dashboard and reports that help us understand where we are with progress for development. The percent complete pulls in automatically from a reference sheet into SubTasks in the project plan. However, the parent task % complete is not updating. If all of the sub-tasks are at 100% so should the parent. We bought into Smartsheet because of its ability to pull in data from linked sheets so this not working has caused quite a bit of tension at my organization. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi @kibister,
Yes we can definitely make this work in SmartSheet. Can you paste the current formula that you use in your column so that I can expand it to make it work.
We will probably need to expand your formula to use IF and CHILDREN to handle the parent rows.
SSFeatures - The browser extension that adds more features into SmartSheet.
- Automatic sorting, sorting with filters, saving sort settings
- Spell checking
- Report PDF generator that supports grouped and summarized reports

You will need to calculate the % for those summary rows using the CHILDREN function.
I suggest:
=IF(MIN(CHILDREN())=1,1,"")

But how when the parent task doesn't let you type anything in it because it says its being calculated by the children subtasks?
