Parent row % complete does not calculate when child rows pull result of a formula from another sheet

Hello,

I need to calculate % complete on parent rows. The child rows are parent rows in other sheets, and I'm pulling in the rollup. Any help greatly appreciate!

  • Hi @Caitlin Kennedy

    Try using the formula

    =AVG(CHILDREN())

    This will present the Average of the Percents found in the child rows. Is that what you are looking to do?

    See: CHILDREN Function

    If I've misunderstood, it would be helpful to see a screen capture of this current sheet and an example screen capture of one of your source sheets (but please block out any sensitive data).

    Cheers,

    Genevieve

  • Thanks! The parent rows in the source sheets are calculated with different formulas. I think the consolidated sheet does not read the % as a number (because there is a formula in the cell). The % complete column in the consolidated sheet has something enabled that prevents me from entering formulas. It returns "Because this row has sub-tasks, this cell is a summary value and cannot be edited directly." So I think I need to make the consolidated sheet read the % complete from the source sheet as a number.

  • Hi @Caitlin Kennedy

    Can you post a screen capture of this "consolidated" sheet? How are you bringing in the Parent Row data from the other sheets?

    If you're using a formula to look into your source sheets and present the data in this sheet (in the child rows), can you also identify the formula you're using?
