Customize your Project Plan

Here the result is "Phase 2", which is correct,
because all tasks beneath "Phase 1" are now
completely done.
We have now determined the first "metric" for our Dashboard.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In case you have more than just 2 Phases defined, then you would be supposed to box / nest up the
already existing IF-formula. Here an example ...
=IF(Done14 = 1, "Shipped", IF(Done8 = 1,
"Phase 4", IF(Done5 = 1, "Phase 3", IF(Done2
= 1, "Phase 2", "Phase 1"))))
=IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(Done@row), 0) = 0, 1)
These rows are locked because there at "Done",
are formulas that need to be protected.
Just some tests to see if the formula works ...
