Can someone please assist with reporting at risk line items? I have parent/child hierarchy and want to only report those parents that are over budget and only the line items under that parent that have fees greater than 0.
Hi,
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Have a fantastic week!

There are a few ways to do this. The easiest way would be to use a checkbox column and write an IF statement to establish your criteria. You could then build your report to pull all rows where the box is checked.
=IF(AND(COUNT(CHILDREN([Item Name Column]@row)) > 0, [Actual Cost Column]@row > [Budget Column]@row), 1, IF(AND(COUNT(CHILDREN([Item Name Column]@row)) = 0, [Total Column]@row > 0), 1))
First it will look to see if the row has any children rows. If it does and the Actual is greater than the Budget, it will check the box.
If the row does not have any children rows (meaning it is itself a child row) and the Total is greater than 0, it will check the box.
You can then build your report to pull all rows where the box is checked, and it will automatically be sorted with the parent row above the children rows.

The columns referenced are definitely present in the sheets with the error. Any idea what could be going on? Here is the formula =INDEX(Description:Description,…

For example, anytime a new row is added please email the person who's in charge of the sheet. I'm the IT guy for the organization and have not changed anything in regards to the…
I want a daily run by trigger date (1 time-1 alert) sent 30-days prior to expiration alert sent to a contact. I have been able to create such an alert, but I am getting people within the 30 calendar days. Why would I not be able to only get alerts for a single day at a time? I have not been able to figure out if I want a…
