I would like to be able to have a different formula in each record, rather than one formula applied to every record.
My table is a task list. The Due Date of each task (record) is relative to the Due Date (date field) of the Final Task. Task A is due 1 day before the Final Task is due, Task B is due 5 days before the Final Task is due, etc.
Is there a way to input a formula into each record's field that would calculate from a field in another record within the same table? Like if I put "-1 day" into the field (I don't know what type of field could do this) of Task A, it would display October 30, 2023 if Final Task's Due Date was October 31, 2023.
The best I've come up with so far is a short text field where I write "1 day before" "5 days before" etc and then plug in the dates in the date field once I've decided Final Task's Due Date. However, this means if I change Final Task's Due Date, I have to manually change all records' Due Dates.
I can't find anything like this anywhere. It's probably not possible with the Formula field. But it seems like a function that would be useful for project management scheduling. So I suggest we figure it out!
