Conditional Formatting on Task/Outline Level Formula
I want to format rows based on the Outline Level. e.g. 1 = a darker color, 2=lighter, 3=lighter than 2, etc. I am using a formula to calculate Outline level: =VALUE(COUNT(ANCESTORS([Task Name]@row )) + 1) However conditional formatting is not working. What could allow this to work? Thanks so much!
