Good morning, folks; need a little help. I think I’m over thinking this; feels like it should be relatively simple...
I have an Excel spreadsheet with columns that represent the date 5 steps of a process were completed, i.e.: “Step 1” (Column A) was completed on 4/29/2016, “Step 2” (Column B) on 4/30/2016, etc. Given the 5 separate columns (A through E,) I’m looking for a formula to drop in Column F that looks at whether or not each of the fields is populated with a date to tally a total percentage of the process completed, i.e.: if only Columns A and D are populated with a date (not blank,) the process is 40% complete (each step being roughly 20% of the overall process.)
I’ve tried nesting “IF” statements to add “0.2” for each populated date, but as the function stops at the first instance of TRUE, I can’t get it to work out logically in cases where say Column A is populated, B is blank and C is populated or any potential combination of blanks and non-blanks between the 5 columns.
I hope this makes sense and someone can lend a hand; thanks in advance!
