Conditional Formatting in merged cell


guys, I'm trying to do some crazy things in Google Sheets and I'm getting in trouble. Can someone help me? I have this sheet with tasks and subtasks. Each subtask has a status (done, in progress or not stated)What I want to do is set one progress for task depending on its subtasks. This way:

  • if all subtasks have a status not stated, the task is not stated(red color)
  • if all subtasks have a status done, the task is done(green color)
  • if all subtasks have a status in progress, the task is in progress (orange color)
  • if we have at least one subtasks not stated, the task is not stated. Same for another status

enter image description here


Solution

  • try separately for A column with those merged cells:

    0

    =REGEXMATCH(TEXTJOIN(" ", 1, C:C), "Not Started")*(B:B<>"")
    

    =REGEXMATCH(TEXTJOIN(" ", 1, C:C), "In Progress")*(B:B<>"")
    

    =REGEXMATCH(TEXTJOIN(" ", 1, C:C), "Done")*(B:B<>"")
