Parent Function working with dates
I'm trying to report down the same date as my parent date. Of course this simple formula is not giving me the results I need.
I need the parent date for each job

You do not need a reference in the PARENT formula. Absent a reference, it will use the current row.

Hi Gina,
Try this.
=PARENT()
Did it work?
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

A little explanation as to Andree's correct solution.
Your formula of
=PARENT(Week3)
is saying to look at the parent of that cell. Week3. If you look at the parent of that cell, you will see that it is blank.
To reference the cell that the formula is residing in
=PARENT(this cell that the formula is in)
you would just leave out the cell reference.
=PARENT()
