Hi,
I would like to change a symbol cell based on the status of a predecessor completion status i.e.
"If a predecessor completion status is 100% then the status of this raw should change".
Hi Shanon,
You can do this by creating an IF formula in the symbol column. To get a better sense of how this works, I recommend taking a look at this blog post:

There are also a few posts here in Community with specific examples that you can draw on.

Happy formula building!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but despite the tutorials/threads linked to above, the answer is no.
There is no way to reference the values in the Predecessors column in any meaningful way.
An IF statement in the Symbol column will only be useful if your tasks are Children of the Predecessor. There is also the added complexity of SS, FS and FF relationships to be considered.
Building nested IF statements with additional identifier columns et. will make a complex web of formulas that will almost certainly fall over in practice.
Kind regards,
Chris McKay
Apologies, I didn't look carefully enough at your request Shanon—it's more complex that my solution solves for. Thanks for chiming in Chris.

I have created columns that have a column type of checkbox. I want to check the box if the owner is from a certain company (which can be determined by the…
Hello, I am trying to use JOIN-COLLECT to populate a cell with a contact by pulling from another sheet. However, when I use this formula it populates the cell with the name of the contact as a text string, but does not populate the cell with the contact itself. Both the column of cells being populated and the column the…
Hello Community, I need to create a report that shows capacity by month. My sheet tracks resource allocation on projects with resource start and end dates. (We can't afford the Resource Management module so we're doing it in Core SS). I've been asked to do a "heat map" of sorts where each column is a month. For each row…
