Question

Hello,

I am looking to return a blank cell in my parent lines in my project status column if there is no project status listed. The formula I have right now is:

=IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Complete") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), "Complete", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Not Started") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), "Not Started", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "In Progress") > 0, "In Progress", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Not Started") > 0, "In Progress"))))

I don't have anything listed in my subtasks, but it keeps returning a value of Complete (don't mind the conditional formatting) when I would like it to be blank.

Thank you,

Sheri

Hi @Sheri.C

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN()) = 0, "", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Complete") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), "Complete", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Not Started") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), "Not Started", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "In Progress") > 0, "In Progress", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), "Not Started") > 0, "In Progress")))))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
