</tbody>[/TABLE]

Table shows progress for each project. I need a formula to calculate the stage (shaded green) at any time and for future projects to be added to the program.

For example, if project in row 3 has a date under 60%, then the Stage should change to 60%

Also, if two stages have the same date, it needs to show the stage furthest right

Thanks for any help offered.
 

Excel Facts

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Hi,

Two different ways to write basically the same formula, take your pick, H3 or I3 copied down:


Book1
ABCDEFGHI
1Progress Stages
2ProjectPrepareStart30%60%90%CompleteStage
3Battersby9/21/20189/22/201812/15/201830%30%
4Phillips7/14/20187/20/20188/25/201811/25/201812/29/201890%90%
5Jordsan9/7/20187/15/20188/20/201811/20/201812/24/20181/13/2019CompleteComplete

I3=LOOKUP(2,1/B3:G3,B$2:G$2)

In case you have Project with No dates at all, use these versions:


Book1
ABCDEFGHI
1Progress Stages
2ProjectPrepareStart30%60%90%CompleteStage
3Battersby9/21/20189/22/201812/15/201830%30%
4Phillips7/14/20187/20/20188/25/201811/25/201812/29/201890%90%
5Jordsan9/7/20187/15/20188/20/201811/20/201812/24/20181/13/2019CompleteComplete
6New Project
Sheet465
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
H3=IFERROR(LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,B3:G3,B$2:G$2),"")
I3=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/B3:G3,B$2:G$2),"")


EDIT: PS, don't forget to format result cells as "percentage".
