I have a master worksheet with a Status column that defaults to "Submitted" for new records. Behind the master worksheet are a few sub worksheets for specific processes, along with their own status columns. In the master worksheet there are reference links for the status columns of the sub worksheets. I would like to create an Automated Workflow that looks at the sub worksheet statuses and overwrites the master Status. There is a hierarchy with the sub worksheets, so I created a helper column for with IF statements.
I am looking to use the helper column in my workflow to determine which sub worksheet status to reflect in the master worksheet Status column.
I had read somewhere that workflows cannot use cell references from other worksheets, which is one reason why I created a helper column. However, when the sub worksheets update and helper column the workflow is not firing.
Any ideas how to get the workflow to update the master worksheet Status column?
