Trying to change RYG based on status of a group of rows and Subtasks

Frank Scalzo

so i have rows that turn red green or yellow based on progress i would like a master progress since the rows are normmaly collaped that shows over all status of a section

 

i have code but its not working

 

=IF(COUNTIF(Status18:Status25) = 0, "Red", IF(COUNTIF(Status18:Status25) = 100, "Green" , IF(COUNTIF(Status18:Status25) < 100, "Yellow")))

 

This is a task subtask request

 

if no Sub-tasks are even started or a Sub-task is marked on hold  keep Main task red,  if some Sub -Yasks are marked Completed, or In Progress make Main task Yellow, if all Sub-tasks are completed make main task Green

The formula you are looking for is as follows:

 

=IF(COUNTIF(Status18:Status25, "Red") > 0, "Red", IF(COUNTIF(Status18:Status25, "Green") = COUNT(Status18:Status25), "Green", "Yellow"))

 

You're close, but the nested formulae you are using are incorrect. For example if you try '=COUNTIF(Status18:Status25) = 0' you'll get an error, and this is the first logic test in your IF statement. The coloured balls are not identified with a value, but with the values "Red", "Yellow" and "Green". So you need to test against these values.
