How to conditional format the parent task based on child task
Hello All,
I am new to smartsheet and I am trying to highlight the parent row based on child rows. here is the use case, I have 2 levels of Indentation to my sheet, and I have conditional formatting applied which turns a row red if my condition is met (Condition is if my end date is in past and % complete is not 100% turn that entire row into red). I want to turn the parent row into red if any of the child row is red. I am not sure how to achieve this. I read multiple threads but was not able to figure out. can someone please help

Hi @Mayur Mehta
I hope you're well and safe!
You'd add a so-called helper column with a formula that checks the condition and then reference that in a conditional formatting rule.
Make sense?
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Hi @Mayur Mehta
Hope you are fine, please add a helper column call it "Highlight" for example and use the following formula in this column and convert it to column format formula:
Highlight=IFERROR(IF(AND(Status@row <> "Complete", End@row < TODAY()), 1), "")
then use the following conditional formatting:
the formula will give 1 for condition in Highlight column
