Project Phases of Development

Jennifer Kaupke · 01/02/20

Hello! I am trying to find a way to show the development stage of a project so it can be rolled into a report. Basically if all of the tasks in a section are complete, then the development stage would be the name of the next header task. For example (see image), if "Project Planning," "Drafting," and "Developing" are all at 100% complete then the project would be in "Post Production." Once "Post-Production" is complete, the project would be in "Final Review," and so on. I would be happy to add a column for a checkbox or whatever to make this happen. Thank you in advance for your help!!

Try something like this...

=INDEX(CHILDREN(), COUNTIFS(CHILDREN([% Complete]@row), @cell = 1) + 1)

Try something like this...

=INDEX(CHILDREN(), COUNTIFS(CHILDREN([% Complete]@row), @cell = 1) + 1)

Hello everyone,

i'm getting in the same situation as Jennifer.

I need to get the last completed parent task, in order to know in which phase the project is.

In the example, i'd like to fill the yellow cell with the value of the green cell "Technical analysis and solution" because is the parent task (or phase) where the project is actually running (all the previous tasks are 100%).

Hope you could help me

Hi @Paul Newcome yes, but isn't working at all. Can you help me?

@Fabrizio Pirulli Are you getting an error or an inaccurate result? What exactly is happening and what exactly should be happening?

Fabrizio Pirulli · 09/29/20

Hi @Paul Newcome i'm getting this (two different errors on two lines):

using this formula: =INDEX(CHILDREN(); COUNTIFS(CHILDREN([% di completamento]@row); @cell = 1) + 1)

Thanks

Hi @Paul Newcome any suggestions?

Paul Newcome · 10/05/20

Is it the same exact formula on both lines?

Fabrizio Pirulli · 10/05/20

Yes! I really can't reach the reason why I obtain different results

@Fabrizio Pirulli

I can't see a formula in the screenshot?

Fabrizio Pirulli · 10/06/20

@Andrée Starå

This is the formula:

=INDEX(CHILDREN(); COUNTIFS(CHILDREN([% di completamento]@row); @cell = 1) + 1)

Thanks

Paul Newcome · 10/06/20

Try referencing the Primary Column in the first CHILDREN function.

=INDEX(CHILDREN([email protected]); COUNTIFS(CHILDREN([% di completamento]@row); @cell = 1) + 1)
