Status RYGG Automated Formula

Hello,

I am trying to create a status column which updates automatically based on the following criteria:

  • Green (Task is Complete): “% Complete” column = 100%
  • Yellow (Task is In Progress): Today’s Date is less than “Planned End Date”, and “% Complete” is less than 100%
  • Red (Task has not Started on Schedule): Today’s Date is past “Planned Start Date”, and “% Complete” is 0% or Blank
  • Red (Task has not Finished on Schedule): Today’s Date is past “Planned End Date”, and “% Complete” is less than 100%
  • Gray (Task has not started): Today’s Date is less than “Planned Start Date”, and “% Complete” is 0% or Blank

  My formula for this is the following:

=IF(AND(OR(ISBLANK([% Complete]10), [% Complete]10 = 0), TODAY() >= [Start Date]10), "Red", IF(AND([% Complete]10 < 1, TODAY() > [End Date]10), "Red", IF(AND(AND([% Complete]10 > 0, [% Complete]10 < 1), TODAY() <= [End Date]10), "Yellow", IF(AND(OR(ISBLANK([% Complete]10), [% Complete]10 = 0), TODAY() < [Start Date]10), "Gray", "Green"))))

However, when I use this formula, all tasks that should be "Not Started"/"Gray" show up as red, and I can't figure out where in the formula I've gone wrong, can anyone help?

 

Thanks!

Andrew
