I want to be able to use a dependency like "either/or" instead of "and"
ie: Task 3 can start after either Task 1 or Task 2 is finished, but does not require both tasks to be done.
Is this possible?
=if(or([Task 1]@row = "Finished",[Task 2] = "Finished"),1,0)
Thanks for the reply, but this seems to be saying "if task 1 is complete, task 2 is also complete" but that wouldnt be the case.

This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
