Mark parent row at risk if any child row is at risk?

This would seem to be a "project settings" sort of thing, but i can't find it. Is there a formula that can accomplish this?

    Using the Status Column. Parent Row

    =IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "At Risk") > 0, "At Risk", "XXXX")

    Β 

    You could also make the Parent a % Complete unless a child is 'At Risk'.

    =IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "At Risk") > 0, "At Risk", (COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Completed") / COUNT(CHILDREN())))

    Β 

    Using a Flag Column

    Child Row Formula:Β =IF(Status4 = "At Risk", 1, 0)

    Parent Row Formula: =IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), 1) > 0, 1, 0)

    Β 

    RYG Layered Formula: If this row has child rows, then default to green unless it has a red or yellow child row. If it does, it will become red or yellow (red with higher priority).

    Β 

    Β If it doesn't have children, turn green if Done checkbox is checked or if this task hasn't been touched yet. Turn yellow when the end date approaches in the next 7 days. Turn red if we're past the end date and complete isnt checked."

    Β 

    -=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([Task Name]8)) > 0, IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Red") > 0, "Red", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Yellow") > 0, "Yellow", "Green")), IF(Done?8 = 1, "Green", IF(ISDATE([End Date]8), IF([End Date]8 < TODAY(), "Red", IF(NETWORKDAYS(TODAY(), [End Date]8) <= 7, "Yellow", "Green")), "")))

    Oh my - I'll give a pre-emptive thank you. It may take some time to get through this.
