% Complete Column Only Works for Some Parent Tasks

I created a basic project sheet and have been filling in tasks for two main deliverables (both shown as parent rows). Under those two parent rows are several child rows. However, the % Complete column is only auto-calculating for one of those two parent rows. The other remains at 0% no matter what I put in the various child rows. My project settings are set appropriately I believe so I'm not sure why this would be happening? And why it's working on one of my parent rows but not the other? Thanks for any help!

Hi,

Have you populated the dates and duration in the child rows of the parents that's not showing correctly?

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Hi there,

Thanks so much for your response! After taking another deeper look, it seems that because my first child row on the unresponsive parent row was a milestone date, it didn't count that % Complete toward the weighted average above. I've fixed it and now it seems to work great!

Restore multiple cell changes from Snapshot
Today a team member accidentally changed several rows by either deleting the data or the row itself. Do I download a snapshot of each one to restore? Some of them didn't seem to be too helpful.
