Calculated % Complete
We use three fields to indicate effort:
- Planned Effort
- Actual Effort
- Remaining Effort
I created a column called '% Comp" with the following formula:
=IF(ISBLANK([Remaining Effort (Hours)]@row), 0, IF([Remaining Effort (Hours)]@row = 0, 1, (([Planned Effort (Hours)]@row) - [Remaining Effort (Hours)]@row) / [Planned Effort (Hours)]@row))
This formula correctly calculates the '% Comp'. However, when I go into Project Settings / Dependency Settings and I then select the '% Comp' column to provide information for '% Complete', Smartsheet removes the formula from this column.
Is there any workaround to allow the use of a calculated column for % Complete? Failing this I would need to keep both columns and manually update the values in '% Complete' from the '% Comp' column, which does not seem very graceful?
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Uncheck "dependencies enabled" in the Project Settings.
Now you can use a formula
And % complete shows in Gantt

Thanks @Dan Palenchar
That seems very straight forward. However, I thought that you needed to have 'Dependencies enabled' ticked for Resource Management?
