Thanks for sharing it, I already used it to some of my complex formulas :)

The problem of my App Users was, that in some reports they saw [Task Status] value "Good to Go" while when using different report they saw "Wait".
Background:
"Good to Go" should show up only when All related actions are completed.
"Wait" when at least 1 was not completed.

When using report which should filter to show only "Good to Go" sometimes they received false-positive result which cause consusion.
I hope your solution will trigger for recalculation and will prevent us from seeing it :)
