Hello, I'm working on a project management spreadsheet and having 1 issue, automating % done. I need the sheet to look at the column A, "WBS", and calculate percentage done based on sub-tasks within that project. For example, 1 = Product Development, 1.1. = Need Development, 1.1.1 = Reviews and Ratings, 1.2.1 = Consumer Focus Group Testing ... I need the book to understand if there is a subtask assigned to a parent task, and then the employee would simply update the subtask %done and any parent task would update appropriately.

example from above

1 = Product Development (20% - there are 5 parent tasks under this task and only one was completed), 1.1. = Need Development (50%), 1.1.1 = Reviews and Ratings (100%), 1.2.1 = Consumer Focus Group Testing (0%)
