If 100% complete, mark another column Done

This works on another sheet, so not sure what I'm missing. I have two columns : Status and Complete%. If a row in Complete % is entered as 100%, I want Status to show as Done.

Here's the formula I've tried to put in the Status column, which outputs #UNPASEABLE

=IF([% complete]@row = 100%, "Done")

    Hi @Xenia Tulupova

    Try this.

    =IF([% complete]@row = 1, "Done")

    Smartsheet looks at the numbers in a column formatted for percentage as values between 0 and 1. You'd need to use decimal values instead for it to work 

    25% = 0,25 (0.25)

    50% = 0,5 (0.5)

    100% = 1

    Did that work?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic day!

    Please be aware that every status option in the dropdown should be automated. If anyone manually selects a dropdown option - your formula will be overwritten. I usually automate each status in my formula and lock the column to prevent users from selecting and changing it.
