I have an approval request setup in my sheet, and an age column where I am tracking the number of days since the approval request was sent out. I need a method to mark the whole project tree "Closed" if any of the children's requests for approval's "age" is over (2) days
Hi aaboueid,
I'm still not clear how your sheet is setup but is the following what you're after?
=IFERROR(IF(MIN(CHILDREN([Approval Request Date]1)) < TODAY() - 2, 1, 0), "")
You could add some conditional formatting for the row based on the value in the Closed column.
Thanks Chris, this worked flawlessly!
Chris, on closer observation, it is working perfectly if there are no grandchildren, please see screenshot, the issue for review is (3) days old, I need the grandparent "LC Lemle" to be marked closed in the P_Closed column, not just the direct parent "Specs & Drawings"
Here is the formula in P_Closed column:
=IFERROR(IF(MIN(CHILDREN(Age@row)) > 2, 1, 0), "")
My pleasure. It's probably best to adapt what you have already instead of re-working it. How are you calculating the Age column? I'd tackle this by looking for:
=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN(Age1)>0,MAX(CHILDREN(Age1), FALSE) with FALSE being whatever formula you're already using in Age to come up with the 3 value.
You could also add another column to identify which rows are parents or children and use that in your formula to determine which Age value to check against.
Here is the function in the Age column:
=IF(ISBLANK(Issued@row), "", NETWORKDAYS(Issued@row, TODAY()))
And we have an"Is_Parent" check box column identifying parent rows
I have downgraded to business but no longer have access to my sheet,i get an error 48,get licensing? How do I fix this? This is a customer contact form so i cant recreate it as the email has been sent?
Hello, smarter friends: I'm trying to learn how to utilize automations to move certain rows to new sheets in order to explore if my larger/longer ranging goal is possible. Where I'm Currently Stuck: I can't even figure out how to create functional auto to send a row to a basic sheet. That is my immediate need. But if…
