Percent Complete by Cell Color

Is there a formula to determine percent complete of a task based on the cell color? Cells are filled with dates of various steps in a project and once those are completed, the cell is highlighted. I'd like to have the percent complete column update automatically when the cell color is changed.

Β 

Help, please!

    Hello Megan,

    I dont believe there are colour base formula's or fomatting.

    Β 

    I would suggest the reverse of what you are doing...

    Β 

    Base your cell colouring on the % compelte value, using Conditional Formatting.

    Β 

    Have you staff update their percentage complete (even by dropdown) and then colour specific cells or the whole line based on this value.Β  You could even use theΒ Symbols Β to manage the Percent Complete column.
