Hi there Smartsheet Guru's!
Im trying to figure out the best way to automate a progress bar, based of 9 columns that all have check boxes. Screenshot shown:
Hi @Paul Newcome - I'm also doing something similar, except I'm referencing a different sheet. This is the formula that keeps getting #UNPARSEABLE
=IF(COUNTIFS(CHILDREN({5060 Milestones Done}@cell), 1) < 1, "Empty", IF(COUNTIFS(CHILDREN({5060 Milestones Done}@cell), 1) < 4, "Quarter", IF(COUNTIFS(CHILDREN({5060 Milestones Done}@cell), 1) < 8, "Half", IF(COUNTIFS(CHILDREN({5060 Milestones Done}@cell), 1) < 11, "Three Quarter", IF(COUNTIFS(CHILDREN({5060 Milestones Done}@cell), 1) = 13, "Full")))))
I tried replacing the 1 within the COUNTIFS with true and that unfortunately didn't work either. I've also tried using @row rather than @cell and that didn't work either.
@crokicki your COUNTIFS syntax is off for each of them. You also cannot use hierarchy based functions with cross sheet references. You would need a helper column on the source sheet that brings the parent row data down onto every child row and then include that in the COUNTIFS.
I would also suggest making it more dynamic so that it doesn't matter how many children are there, it will calculate based on the percentage of children that are checked.
COUNTIFS({Helper Column}, @cell = "5060", {Checkbox Column}, @cell = 1) / COUNTIFS({Helper Column}, @cell = "5060")
The above would give you
0 = 0 = "Empty"
0.25 = 25% = "Quarter"
0.50 = 50% = "Half"
0.75 = 75% = "Three Quarter"
1 = 100% = "Full"
Hi. I need to know what is the best way to Count but exclude any cells that are blank. I am looking to count how many machines I have per my programs but I don't want to count the ones that have no date. I've read I should start with Is Blank but that didn't work. Thanks you in advance. Ali
I want to pull the dates into this data sheet from the Schematic prep column on the Master sheet. What's wrong with my forumla??
i am trying to write an IF situation referencing another sheet where I want if there's a ). PS the answer is 69, the formula I wrote which is wrong is =IF({VAC Intake R- Stage}, (@cell = "0. PS"), 69) any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
