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!
Hi all! I'm working on a column formula that will check whether the Column2ref cell in the current row is blank. If it is blank, the formula finds the maximum value in the ID column where the Trainer Name matches the Trainer Name cell value in the current row and the ID cell value is less than the ID cell value in the…
How do I see who submitted a form for a specific sheet?
Hi, I have a Gantt covering 500+ rows of events past and planned. I use it to predict and track values around these events. Using helper columns to identify the current week, I get an email report on a Monday that tells me the upcoming events in the current week (7 days) and their values. Currently if an event spans…
