  • Hi Paul

    I have another formula I would really appreciate your assistance with - I need to create a “Task Status” Formula based on the criteria below.

    COMPLETE

    100% Complete

    Color - Light Green


    ON TRACK

    Less than 100% Complete, not yet in the last quarter of delivery date period (4th Quarter of Start Date to End Date period)

    Color - Light Green ball


    IN PROGRESS BUT DELAYED

    Less than 100% completion, and in the 4th quarter of delivery date (4th Quarter of Start Date to End Date period)

    Start date reached, and still at 0%

    Color - Yellow ball

     

    NOT YET DUE

    Start date not reached

    Color - Light Blue ball


    NOT ON TRACK

    Less than 100% and end date is reached

    Color - Red ball

    If you think about your criteria, other than being 100% complete the only thing that is relevant is the ball color. So...


    =IF([% Complete]@row=1,"Complete", IF(colour@row="Green","On Track",IF(colour@row="Yellow","In Progress But Delayed",IF(colour@row="Blue","Not Due Yet",IF(colour@row="Red","Not on Track","")))))

  • Hi

    Thanks for the suggestion, however, there nothing in the formula that relates to the quarter in which "today" is, in relation to the "Start Date" & "End Date"

    Eg. - Less than 100% completion, and in the 4th quarter of delivery date (4th Quarter of Start Date to End Date period)
