Cell Forumula Notes

The cell formula can only be divided into 4ths.  To divide the status bar into 4ths the day in the cell must be equal.  For example in Pilot Progress:  Start Pilot, contact by Oct 1, Jan 15 and March 15 should be 25% each.  Each has 14 days to divide the percent to 25 percent.  

Another example is Pilot Decision:  

Check ID: 25%  - 3 days

Create Pilot contains 3 sections ( Pilot deposit - 1 day, Pilot Quote - 1 day and   Send Pilot Agreement - 1 day = 3 days for 25%)

Receive signed agreement - 3 days = 25%

 Setup eBooks and Ship materials - 3 days = 25%

 (Integration Update Needed & Pilot Prof Learning Dates have 0 days because they  are not included in calculation)
