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.

Hello, I have set up a sheet in which a form will submitted with 4 columns; a specific label (from a dropdown list), and then up to three barcodes. On the grid I also have a hidden created date column. I am then wanting to create a separate sheet that collates the most recent barcode for each column for label for the day.…
Hi all, I am trying to expand on my regular countif formula but I am getting an error. The original formula: =IF(Order@row = 2, SUMIFS({Costs}, {Date}, Date@row, {Location}, location@row), SUM(CHILDREN())) works perfectly fine. However, when I add onto this formula, I get an error: =IF(Order@row = 2, SUMIFS({Costs},…
Hello, I am looking for some suggestions on how best to link an end date. I am creating an integrated schedule with fairly simple sheets. I do not understand why I cannot link an end date. I appreciate any suggestions as I am a newer user.
