Greetings,
Does anyone know if there is a formula to automate RYG based on Variance? I am trying to track budget (not dates). I would like to show Red balls when a task is over budget.
Any ideas on the formula?
Thank you!
I think there are a variety of ways to accomplish what you are trying to do. Are you trying to figure variance on a row by row basis or by sum total of the entire budget for the sheet like for a roll-up?
Here are two examples of formulas you could use:
Row by Row: =IF(Actual@row > Budget@row, "Red", "Green")
Sum of Columns: =IF(SUM(Actual:Actual) > SUM(Budget:Budget), "Red", "Green")
You can see both of them at work in my screenshot below. Right click on it to open it in a new window. You can see the item flagging red, while the overall budget is still on track. Hope that helps!
Did this solution work for you?
I have an end date column and want to add 30 days to that for a new column that shows due date. How do I add 30 days to a date automatically?

I have already confirmed the following: I am the owner of the dashboard and have…
Why is it so convoluted now! I eventually figured out the changes and ended up with a sheet that Smartsheet completely reorganised the rows and the sheet is now useless to me as it is not in a logical order for me to easily restore to its original layout. This is not an "improvement"! It was far easier to upload data…
