Hi,
I would like to change a symbol cell based on the status of a predecessor completion status i.e.
"If a predecessor completion status is 100% then the status of this raw should change".
Hi Shanon,
You can do this by creating an IF formula in the symbol column. To get a better sense of how this works, I recommend taking a look at this blog post:

There are also a few posts here in Community with specific examples that you can draw on.

Happy formula building!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but despite the tutorials/threads linked to above, the answer is no.
There is no way to reference the values in the Predecessors column in any meaningful way.
An IF statement in the Symbol column will only be useful if your tasks are Children of the Predecessor. There is also the added complexity of SS, FS and FF relationships to be considered.
Building nested IF statements with additional identifier columns et. will make a complex web of formulas that will almost certainly fall over in practice.
Kind regards,
Chris McKay
Apologies, I didn't look carefully enough at your request Shanon—it's more complex that my solution solves for. Thanks for chiming in Chris.

I could use some help with my formula. The "Overdue" is not working when TODAY is greater than Overdue Date. Please see formula below. =IF(NOT(ISBLANK([Complete / Decision Date]@row )), "Completed", IF(ISBLANK([Start Date]@row ), "Not Started", IF(ISBLANK([Due Date]@row ), IF(TODAY() < [Start Date]@row , "Not Started", "In…
Hello, I am trying to return data from a cell in a reference sheet based on (2) criteria - one at the row, and one in the 1st row of that column. I have metrics sheets that accomplish a similar function but those are using sumif for calculations, whereas here I just need to pull in text. How do I create an index/match or…
Hello, I need a formula that will create the response "Green" if the Agency name matches the "Live Agencies" sheet to my current sheet, as well as have any of the following services (485 Review, OASIS/485 Review (No coding), or Non-OASIS 485 Review) in the "Coding Services" column of the "Live Agencies" sheet and create…
