Is there a way to take the average of the RYG colors and roll it up to an overall summary for a section and then the overall section to the overall project summary? I've included a snapshot of what I'm talking about.
Hi Frank,
Yes, it is. You'd need to decide on the rules for when it should be R,, Y or G.
What are your criteria?
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!

The end users decided an selects based on the task if it is red-at risk, green - on track, yellow in between on track and at risk. Some fields might be blank if it is not filled in but we would like to take the average of the colors and assign the overall status. I hope this makes sense.
Try something like this.
Add the formula to all parents in the status column.
=IF(AND(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(); "Green") > COUNTIF(CHILDREN(); "Yellow"); COUNTIF(CHILDREN(); "Green") > COUNTIF(CHILDREN(); "Red")); "Green"; IF(AND(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(); "Red") > COUNTIF(CHILDREN(); "Green"); COUNTIF(CHILDREN(); "Red") > COUNTIF(CHILDREN(); "Yellow")); "Red"; "Yellow"))
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(AND(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Green") > COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Yellow"), COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Green") > COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Red")), "Green", IF(AND(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Red") > COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Green"), COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Red") > COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Yellow")), "Red", "Yellow"))
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Would that work?

We are UK based and use the Day/Month Date Format (i.e 09/02/2026 - 9th of Feb 2026) In some, but not all, of the "Send.." rows email, the date format changes to the American version (02/09/2026). Is there any way to stop this happening?
Hello, I have an approval path for update requests. It starts with a form, and it currently isn't being received after being handed off by the PCM. So, starting on page 3, the Area Director isn't receiving the update request. I have myself filled in for most of the steps which will be changed once I get this sorted, but…
Earlier today it looks like several columns of data had the "clear contents" action taken in error. Is there a way to get that back other than using the snapshot feature and manually adding it back to a sheet with conditional formatting etc.? thanks in advance for taking a look1
