I'm hoping this is quite simple, but my simple mind is struggling to piece it together.
I have a Parent Row with multiple Children but only one hierarchy below it and i want the parent row to average the status of the Red, Green and Blue balls on the Children rows...make sense?
Help would be much appreciated, screen shot below:
I did this with a helper column and a few formulas.
Add a number/text column to the right of the symbol column. I titled mine Scoring
Add the following formula to every child row: =IF([email protected]= "Green", 1, IF([email protected]= "Yellow", 2, IF([email protected]= "Red", 3, IF([email protected]= "Blue", 4)))) REPLACE Status with your column Name and use brackets [ ] if your name has a space or ends in a number.
In the helper column, for every parent row add the following formula: =AVG(CHILDREN()) This will provide an average for your children rows.
It does work to an extent but not exactly what i was after.
The reason being I think is because it gives the RYGB a weighting, and in this example all are equal. Maybe average was the wrong way of describing it, I guess what I essentially want is for it to show me which colour appears the most.
For example, in the screenshot above there are 16 sections, if 9 are Green, the parent row should show as Green. With your formula, if i have 12 Green and 4 Blue it averages to a Red. (Note, i edited the formula and used Green - 1, Red - 2 and Blue - 3):
You can switch colors around (keep in mind it only works for 3 colors). Also, the order of the colors makes a difference to which color it returns in a tie...
I just found this thread while researching something similar, but we DO use 4 colors. Can this formula be adjust to work for more harvey ball colors? Or, do we need to assign an a numerical weight in a helpfer column and work from there? Thanks!
