How can I make a "Status" field change "Percentage Complete?"
Hello,
I'm wondering how I can sync a dropdown menu (Status Column) to another column (Percentage Complete). Ideally, this function would change the Percentage Complete column to 100% when the status is marked "complete."
Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Hello Mike—typically, you can automate this with an IF statement such as placing the following in a percent formatted column:
=IF(Status1 = "Complete", 1)

However, there isn't a way to use formulas in columns being used for dependencies, as formulas are being used on the backend to perform dependency calculations.
To be able to automate a % complete column based on the status column, you'll need to disable dependencies.
