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,

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'm wondering if anyone has worked out a dynamic formula to return the date of the 'next' Thursday of the month. I have a worksheet where I need to send out a reminder to a contacts in a contact column in the worksheet each Thursday of the current month if a criteria has not been met. When criteria has been met, then…
Hello, I have the formula to check a box for line items with the current month. =IF(AND(YEAR(Date@row ) = YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(Date@row ) = MONTH(TODAY())), 1, 0) Trying to set up a report for all items with the previous month (i.e. 1 month prior to current). How can I modify to check the box?
Please help, I have a few of these to do. I have a nested IF formula. The first part is an INDEX/MATCH and works as a standalone. The next few are INDEX/COLLECT. These are not working as standalone or in the nested version (Unparsable Error). Any ideas? =IF(CONTAINS(“A/V”, [Vendor Type]@row ), INDEX(COLLECT({Date Secured…
