Autofill % Complete in a project
I would like to fill in the % Complete column with 100% when the Status column drop down is set to complete and have the formula in a separate column. I have read through other posts but cannot seem to find a formula that works or the proper syntax. I currently have the formulate on my comments column but I get #unpareseable.
=IF(Status5= "Complete", % Complete5= 1) is the current formula which is not working.

Hi Chris,
You’d have to have the formula in the % Complete column for it to change it to 100 % or you’d need to use a third-party solution like Zapier or similar.
Try something like this.
=IF(Status@row = "Complete"; 1)
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(Status@row = "Complete", 1)
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Unfortunately it did not. When I enter that formula into the % Complete cell, it treats it as text. This is the default % Complete column when creating a project plan. Not a column i created on my own.

Ok.
It's because you're using dependencies. You can't use formulas in % Complete when you have that enabled.
Make sense?
