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 this formula that will check the box if the date in a second column is in the past. Is there a way to include if the date is 60 days in the future?

Is there a way to automatically update my dropdown list for a form if I have a new item added? I have a New Order Entry form. I have a dropdown list of customers, but if it is a new customer, there is a checkbox to allow more fields to open up to enter that information. If that information is added, it gets copied to a…
Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to use the NETDAYS formula to show how long someone has been a member of a certain team. I can't get it to measure to today using the formula that the website suggests. I want it to be running so that whenever I log on I can see the time elapsed to the day I'm looking at the sheet. Can…
