Percentage Complete of child tasks

eric_moss66076

Hello!

I'm trying to figure out a formula to do the following:

1.) Display percentage complete of tasks marked "complete" within a child group, at the child top level

2.) Display percentage complete of child groups in the parent row.

Note that I am not using dependencies, and am using an independent "% complete" column (I can't organize my sheet like I need to when enabled). 

 

See attachment for a mock-up example. Thanks in advance!

Hi Eric,

Try this.

1.

=IFERROR(AVG(COLLECT(CHILDREN(); CHILDREN(Status@row); "Complete")); 0)    

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

=IFERROR(AVG(COLLECT(CHILDREN(), CHILDREN(Status@row), "Complete")), 0)

2.

=AVG(CHILDREN())

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

Did it work?

Have a fantastic week!

Thanks Andree-

I'm in the U.S, so I used the second version you provided, but it doesn't appear to be working. I've included a screenshot w/how it looks with the formulas in place. Any further advice?

Happy to help!

Try this.

It should be: =IFERROR(AVG(COLLECT(CHILDREN(), CHILDREN(Status@row), "Complete")), 0)

Best,

Andrée

Hi @goose

Can you share more information? Such as what formula you're using, and perhaps a screen capture of your sheet (with sensitive data blocked out).

Thanks!
