OR formula---cell range
Hello,
I'm having trouble with an OR formula. I want Smartsheet to read a range of child cells to populate the parent cell accordingly. However, the formula I have below isnt working. Thoughts.
=IF(OR(Status21:Status61 = "not started"), "Not Started", "In Progress")

Hi @I have questions ,
Try something like this:
=IF(COUNTIF(Status21:Status61, "Not Started") >0, "Not Started", "In Progress")
This translates to: If there are more than zero "Not Started" cells in Status21 through Status61, display Not Started; otherwise, display In Progress.
Alternately, if you're indenting and rows 21-61 are the child rows of the row you're putting the formula in, you could use this:
=IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Not Started") >0, "Not Started", "In Progress")
Hope this helps! Let me know if it works for you.
Best,
Heather
