Formula to auto populate a number based off cell input

Hi there,<\/p>

I think this should work:<\/p>

=IF(COUNTIF(Referencia:Referencia, Referencia@row) > 1, 1)<\/p>

Have a great day.<\/p>

@BArmendariz<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

You will need to write a nested IF function to deal with the levels of hierarchy in your RAG column.<\/p>

You will have 1 set of IF's to deal with the Child Rows (usually based on Date and % complete etc)<\/p>

Then another set of IF's to deal with Parent Rows (usually based on if there is a Red ball in the children then the parent is red, if there is a yellow one, then parent is yellow etc)<\/p>

If the Project level (row1) logic needs to be different then a set of IF's for that will also be required.<\/p>

For example:<\/p>

=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([Task Name]@row)) > 0, IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), \"Blue\") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), \"Blue\", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), \"Green\") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), \"Green\", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), \"Red\") > 0, \"Red\", \"Yellow\"))), IF([% Complete]@row = 1, \"Green\", IF([End Date]@row < TODAY(), \"Red\", IF([% Complete]@row = 0, \"Blue\", \"Yellow\"))))<\/p>

<\/p>

The first half of this is dealing with Parent Rows:<\/p>

The opening condition: =IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([Task Name]@row)) > 0, is asking if there are any children (i.e. is this a Parent row) then this particular formula is then saying if it is a parent row then, if all the children are Blue then the Parent is also Blue, if all the children are Green then the Parent is also Green, if ANY of the children are Red then the Parent is also Red, or for anything else the Parent is Yellow.<\/p>

The second half is child rows:<\/p>

, IF([% Complete]@row = 1, \"Green\", IF([End Date]@row < TODAY(), \"Red\", IF([% Complete]@row = 0, \"Blue\", \"Yellow\"))))<\/p>
