He wrote a formula to show if requests are on track. The formula will display On Time or the number of days late. The formula displays an error, #UNPARSEABLE.

The correct formula should be: =IF(([Estimated Completion Date]1 - [Date Need By]1) = 0, "On Time", ([Estimated Completion Date]1 - [Date Need By]1) & "days late") Yoko created a report to show collaborators on her project their assigned tasks. They have told her that many tasks from different areas of the project plan look the same in the report. To solve the problem, she wants to add the parent name to the row in the report." Which formula should she use? - Answer-=JOIN(ANCESTORS()) - The formula `=JOIN(ANCESTORS())` in Smartsheet is used to return the names of all parent rows above the current row, separated by a specified delimiter. For example, if you have a hierarchy of rows in your sheet (e.g. Project Task Sub- task), adding this formula in a column in the sub-task rows, with a delimiter such as a forward-slash "/" will return a string of the parent rows' names, in the order from top- level to the immediate parent of the current row, separated by the delimiter. So if the project name is "Website Redesign," and the task name is "Design Homepage," then using the `JOIN` and `ANCESTORS` functions with a forward-slash delimiter would result in the sub-task row displaying "Website Redesign/Design Homepage" in the specified column. Note that the `ANCESTORS` function will only work in combination with the `JOIN` function, as it does not return anything on its own. Olga added a field called "Budget Total" in their sheet summary.
