Formula to Outdent a row, when a certain status is reached

Hi all,

I've been using Smartsheet for a while now, love it, but I'm a bit rubbish with formulas.

I'm trying to have tasks 'de-parent' from its parent task (Outdent to '0') when a certain status is set.

I got to this formula (to no avail, but to help illustrate what I'm on about):

=IF(Status143:Status159)="COMPLETE (any/all)", ([Task Name]144:[Task Name]158ANCESTORS()) = 0)

(Note the '(any/all)' within "COMPLETE (any/all)" is just part of the name of the actual status)

Reason I'm doing this is I'm wanting the tasks under a card to clear off that card once they're complete

Thank you in advance!

Hi Mik,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment because there isn't a formula that can Indent/Outdent, but it's an excellent idea!

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

A multiple SUMIF function
My current formula is below. I would like to update this so that I only get a total of those that have been Quoted and have a timeframe data of 2025. How do I add this extra filter into the formula? =SUMIF(Status:Status, "Quoted", [Est. GP]:[Est. GP])
Missing column in Report if I use a formula
I'm not able to "view by" a field that I have in my sheets - Quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) - in my report. I think it is because I have used a formula to calculate the quarters in my sheets. Does anyone know a way to get a formula based field on the dropdown for view by in my report?
SUMIF function not working
=SUMIFS({GM Compliance Trained}, {GM Compliance Training Dept}, Department@row , {Compliance Training Date}, MONTH(7, 8, 9)) GM Compliance Trained is the number of employees trained. I am trying to sum the number of employees trained in each department during 3rd quarter (July 1-Sep 30). Thinking I need an IFERROR in there…
