I have a construction schedule with start and finish dates. I want the check boxes for the at risk column to automatically check off if the project is late starting or late finishing. Can anyone help me craft the appropriate formula for this? Is there a good formula for this? I was thinking it would be an if then formula but I cannot for the life of me get it to work.
Hi,
How do you decide if it's late?
Have a fantastic week!
Best,

There are set start and finish dates. If the project hasn't started by the scheduled date then it is late starting. For example, if the building inspection hasn't started by 8/30/2019 and is due by 9/10/2019 then the inspection is late starting and puts the period at risk. We get these dates from Purchase Agreements.
Thanks!
What indicates that it's started?
The percent complete column. Whoever is in charge of that part of the project updates that column as the project proceeds.
Ok.
Try something like this.
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(Start@row); ISBLANK(Finish@row); [% Complete]@row = 1); 0; IF(AND(Start@row < TODAY(); [% Complete]@row = 0); 1; IF(AND(Finish@row < TODAY(); [% Complete]@row < 1); 1)))
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(Start@row), ISBLANK(Finish@row), [% Complete]@row = 1), 0, IF(AND(Start@row < TODAY(), [% Complete]@row = 0), 1, IF(AND(Finish@row < TODAY(), [% Complete]@row < 1), 1)))
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work?
Hope that helps!
Yes it did! Thank you so much!
Excellent!
Happy to help!
The dashboard previously contained 16 widgets, and I have confirmed that the widgets still exist in the backend. However, when I open the dashboard, nothing is displayed, and I am unable to enter Edit Mode or access the widgets/data sources. I have already confirmed the following: I am the owner of the dashboard and have…
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?
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…
