Need help getting comment to change in one box as each line status goes to complete.

eleanor.blais69566

This is my formula and it works only up to the line 2.  Starting with line 3, it will only work if the previous line(s) get reset to 0%.  I need the [Comments]1 to update as each [%Complete] status =1 with the next row Task and Assigned To.

=IF([% Complete]1 = 0, [Task Name]2 + ", " + [Assigned To]2,

IF([% Complete]2 = 1, [Task Name]3 + ", " + [Assigned To]3,

IF([% Complete]3 = 1, [Task Name]4 + ", " + [Assigned To]4,

IF([% Complete]4 = 1, [Task Name]5 + ", " + [Assigned To]5,

IF([% Complete]5 = 1, [Task Name]6 + ", " + [Assigned To]6,

IF([% Complete]6 = 1, [Task Name]7 + ", " + [Assigned To]7,

IF([% Complete]7 = 1, [Task Name]8 + ", " + [Assigned To]8,

IF([% Complete]8 = 1, [Task Name]9 + ", " + [Assigned To]9,

IF([% Complete]9 = 1, [Task Name]10 + ", " + [Assigned To]10,

IF([% Complete]10 = 1, "Complete"))))))))))

Hi Eleanor,

When using multiple IFs, it will only look for the first rule that is true so in your case it must be backward.

Try this.

=IF([% Complete]10 = 1; "Complete"; IF([% Complete]9 = 1; [Task Name]10 + "; " + [Assigned To]10; IF([% Complete]8 = 1; [Task Name]9 + "; " + [Assigned To]9; IF([% Complete]7 = 1; [Task Name]8 + "; " + [Assigned To]8; IF([% Complete]6 = 1; [Task Name]7 + "; " + [Assigned To]7; IF([% Complete]5 = 1; [Task Name]6 + "; " + [Assigned To]6; IF([% Complete]4 = 1; [Task Name]5 + "; " + [Assigned To]5; IF([% Complete]3 = 1; [Task Name]4 + "; " + [Assigned To]4; IF([% Complete]2 = 1; [Task Name]3 + "; " + [Assigned To]3; IF([% Complete]1 = 1; [Task Name]2 + "; " + [Assigned To]2; "Complete"))))))))))    

The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.  

=IF([% Complete]10 = 1, "Complete", IF([% Complete]9 = 1, [Task Name]10 + ", " + [Assigned To]10, IF([% Complete]8 = 1, [Task Name]9 + ", " + [Assigned To]9, IF([% Complete]7 = 1, [Task Name]8 + ", " + [Assigned To]8, IF([% Complete]6 = 1, [Task Name]7 + ", " + [Assigned To]7, IF([% Complete]5 = 1, [Task Name]6 + ", " + [Assigned To]6, IF([% Complete]4 = 1, [Task Name]5 + ", " + [Assigned To]5, IF([% Complete]3 = 1, [Task Name]4 + ", " + [Assigned To]4, IF([% Complete]2 = 1, [Task Name]3 + ", " + [Assigned To]3, IF([% Complete]1 = 1, [Task Name]2 + ", " + [Assigned To]2, "Complete"))))))))))

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

I hope this helps you!

Have a fantastic week!

You made it look so easy.  It didn't even cross my mind to backtrack.  Thank you so very much!  That totally solved the problem.
