Hi, which formula can I use to calculate the expected Progress (depending on the current date)?
Thanks
Could you give more details and share some screenshots?
Hi Paul,
I have the Start Date, End Date, Duration (days) and the Progress given by each responsible. From this Information I would like to calculate the expected Progress, how shall the Project must be going on an specific date.
For example:
I have a Task with 10 days as Duration. by the second day the Progress completed is 20% (that means is running accordingly to plan) and by the third day, the Progress is the same. That means that by the third day the Project has already a delay.
So I would like to know which formula can I use to find out this expected or planned Progress and then I can be able to make a comparison against Progress completed and create alerts if neccesary.
Thanks.
If you create a [Projected % Complete] column, you can enter this formula into it...
=(TODAY() - [Start Date]@row) / ([Scheduled End Date]@row- [Start Date]@row)
This will give you how far into the scheduled time you are for whatever today's date is. You can then build your alerts off of whether your actual % complete is less than, greater than, or equal to where you should be (projected % complete).
To show the projected finish date based off of the current progress and the start date, create a date type column [Projected End Date] and insert this formula...
=[Start Date]@row+ ((((TODAY() - [Start Date]@row) / ([Scheduled End Date]@row - [Start Date]@row)) - [Actual % Complete]@row) * ([Scheduled End Date]@row - [Start Date]@row)) + ([Scheduled End Date]@row - [Start Date]@row)
Thank you!
I have a similar request: I would like to see how the projected end date of a task will impact the overall projected end date of the project taking the predecessor relationships into account. Any ideas on how to do that with a function or in a dashboard?
I have two formulas which work well independently, but when I combine them they don't. formula 1: =IF(YEAR([Joined date]@row ) = 2025, JOIN(COLLECT({Membership Survey 2025 - Experience}, {Membership Prioritisation Survey 2025 - Org}, [Organisation name]@row ))) formula 2: =IF(YEAR([Joined date]@row ) < 2025,…
Hello, I use Smartsheets in a Higher Education setting. I have one sheet (Sheet A) for a list of students this sheet contains their student id numbers, email addresses, as well as other helpful information. I built a If Yes/If No check column on this sheet as well. My next sheet (sheet B) is a form that is asking is the…
I need to extract information from 2 different sheets based on the name of the member organisation and the join year (i.e. DD/MM/YYYY). The 2 sheets have the same column titles, but one is for 2024 and another one for 2025. Where organisation joined earlier than 2025, then it needs to fetch the data from the 2024 sheet,…
