Help with vlookup or match based on a predecessor row
I'm fairly new with smartsheets and trying to build an automated system where the task ready box is checked when % complete column is marked 100% based on the predecessor row. Would a vlookup or a match would work? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Currently I have this equation, but am hoping to not have to manually update the reference to the %complete column.
=IF([% Complete]2767) = 1, true, false)

Hi @Ryan GM
Since Predecessors could have multiple dependent rows, this gets a little trickier than a simple IF statement. That said, we recently released a new function, SUCCESSORS which can help with your end goal!
@Paul Newcome has a great thread where he shows how you could use an auto-number column to bring out the Row Number into the grid of the sheet, then use SUCCESSORS and an IF statement to check a box. Here's the full solution: SUCCESSORS Testing

Genevieve
