    Hey @Daniel Marcel

    =IF(TODAY()>Finish@row, "at risk")

    May I suggest you add another condition to 'turn off' counter. As is, when Today's date passes Finish, the status will turn to at risk, regardless if the task was completed already.

    cheers,

    Hey Daniel

    You can either drag this formula down the column or, more preferably, make this formula a column formula by right clicking in the cell with the formula and, at the bottom of the list of actions, is 'Convert to Column Formula'. Note that to edit a formula after converting to a column formula you must right-click a cell within the column and choose either 'edit column formula' or 'convert to cell formula'. You will not be able to edit the cell directly.

  • That's awesome, thank you so much @KDM

    Am I able to apply this to all line items somehow rather than individual line items?
