I'm Desperate. Can anyone help build this formula? I've been stuck for approximately 60 hours.

Hello! I'm trying to write a formula that I just can't seem to get right. I've got a project with several ancestor levels that I'd like to report on. I'm close, but I just can't seem to get it. I've added a Parent Row helper column with a check box. I'd like the check box to equal True (checked) if the Primary Column is the ancestor column. That way I can just run a report on the True Boxes.

Ex: I want to be able to run reports only on rows for Task 1, Task 2, and Task 3.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try this:

=IF(COUNT(ANCESTORS()) = 0, 1)
