Hi
I’m trying to create a formula to calculate the RICE scoring system.
I want to be able to populate columns with numbers and then the formula will give me the final score, I’ll explain:
Ive created columns named Reach, Impact, Confidence and Effort
and the logic is : Rach X Impact X Confidence / Effort =
It seems like my formula is not working - what as i missing?
Hi @Itayett,
Why the = at the end?
In a case like this, you’ll need to test. Item by item.
{Reach#Count}
{Reach#Count}*{Impact#Count}
{Reach#Count}*{Impact#Count}*{Confidence%#Count}
etc. until you reach the culprint.
I recently just setup a RICE score metric in a board broke it down a bit further.
I then setup a another Impact Numeric column which is based on a switch formula.
SWITCH({Impact},"Minimal",0.25,"Low",0.5,"Medium",1,"High",2,"Massive",3,0)
SWITCH({Confidence},"Moonshot",20%,"Low",50%,"Med",80%,"High",100%,0)
Impact Numeric is set to hidden and controlled by the dropdown so cannot be keyed incorrectly.
My final Rice Score Formula is set to be
({Reach} * {Impact Numeric} * {Confidence Numeric}) / {Effort}
At this point I’ve left Reach and Effort as a numerical record however the above will provide me a Rice Score without issue, it will be an error though when Effort = 0 since cannot divide by zero.
One thing I found was with Definition / Name of a column something like Confidence % wasn’t liked as the Formula generator in Monday couldn’t handle the % char in column name.
Bit of a thread resurrection but if you didn’t get it resolved, hopefully this helps and any others who googled and stumbled on this community topic.
To Add you could just do what I did in one step without the additional columns but I like to break things out into chunks first to test then consolidate.
e.g.
({Reach}
* SWITCH({Impact},"Minimal",0.25,"Low",0.5,"Medium",1,"High",2,"Massive",3,0)
* SWITCH({Confidence},"Moonshot",20%,"Low",50%,"Med",80%,"High",100%,0))
/ {Effort}
Will deliver the same without 2 additional hidden columns.
