Hi,

I have this spreadsheet which has tasks with one or more dependencies. These tasks can begin only after their dependencies are complete i.e. start date of task > max of end dates of its dependencies.

I need to validate the start date of all the tasks which have dependencies based on above logic. Is it possible to write a macro for this? Thanks in advance for help.

The spreadsheet I'm talking about looks something like this:

Task RefTaskStart DateTarget End DateDependencies
A.1Obtain internal approvals10/1/20158/1/2016
A.2Obtain approval from the Committee11/1/201512/9/2015
A.3Determine whether something is established1/1/20166/30/2016
A.4Update database10/1/201612/1/2016Obtain internal approvals
Obtain approval from the Committee

A.5Inform Some one10/1/201610/1/2016Update database
