Predecessor Error

Gkboulder45

I keep getting errors for my predecessors in some areas.  I cannot replicate it or see what the issue is.  I've read a few other forum queries that mention that you cannot refer to a parent row, but sometimes this actually works for me (in fact it is nice that it works because it's easier than using a bunch of child row predecessors to denote when a group of items has completed for a new line to begin.

 

However, in this case, it is a child row and I'm getting the #REF error even upon reloading the page.  Please see a screenshot attached of me trying to refer to row 482 and then it showing an error when I do.

Have you checked the other predecessors for rows 457 and 461. It may be that somewhere along the line there is some circular mess somewhere. I occasionally run into that issue with large project plans requiring multiple predecessors all over the sheet.

You're right it was a circular reference about 5 predecessors out due to a wonky project not following the usual process.

 

Thank you!
