Filter to show flagged summary and its subtasks

[rrudolph]

Hi,
I've flagged several summary tasks. I'm trying to find/create a filter that
will show only the flagged summary tasks and all related subtasks that are <
100% complete. If a filter won't solve my problem, can a formula solve? Thank
you.

It's not as straight forward as you may think because the schedule has levels
of indenture. If a summary task is at level 3 of indenture, you will not be
able to hide the parent summary tasks at level 1 or level 2.

Additionally, filters will show only what you specify. If you flag a summary
task (Flag1=Yes) and then filter to it, then by definition any Flag1=No tasks
will hide because that is what a filter does.

What I would do, is flag the summary task and all its children. Then apply
two filters: (1) Flag=Yes, (2) Incomplete tasks.

Your other alternative (to get exactly what you want) involves VBA coding.
