Cell in child row display value from parent row (but different column)
Hi, I am having issues getting a formula to work to show the value from a parent row in a child row when the parent row value is from a different column. For the example below I would want a formula for the Associated Project column to always show the parent name in from the Project column. Thanks!

Hi Chris,
Try to add this formula to the Associated Project Children cells.
=PARENT(Project@row)
Did it work?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week & Happy Holidays!

Chris, what values would you want to have appear in each of the top three blank cells in the AssociatedProject column (Rows 1, 2 and 3 as displayed)? I'm guessing but uncertain whether, for instance, you want "Metrics" to appear on rows 2 and 3, with row 1 remaining blank, but maybe you're aiming for some other intended outcome.
