# How to roll up progress from dependent key results

Calculate a parent key result from the progress of its dependent key results

Use **Rollup dependencies** when a higher-level key result should be calculated from the key results that contribute to it. For example, a company revenue target can roll up values from Sales and Customer Success targets.

The workflow has two parts:

1. Connect the contributing key results as dependencies.
2. Change the parent key result to the **Rollup dependencies** type.

{% hint style="info" %}
Adding relationships does not update the parent value by itself. The parent must also use the **Rollup dependencies** key result type.
{% endhint %}

## Connect the dependent key results

1. Open the parent key result to show its details panel.
2. Expand **Relationships** and select **Add relationship**.
3. Under **Add dependency**, select **Add dependent key result**.
4. Select the plan containing the contributing key result.
5. Select the key result, then select **Save**.
6. Repeat for every key result that should contribute to the roll-up.

The connected items now appear under **Dependencies** on the parent key result. See [Outcome relationships](/docs/become-a-tability-power-user/features/outcomes-key-results/outcome-relationships.md) for parent, dependency, related, and removal workflows.

## Configure the roll-up

1. Open the parent key result.
2. Select the `...` menu and **Edit**.
3. On the **Target** tab, choose **Rollup dependencies**.
4. Review the connected items under **Dependent key results**.
5. Choose a **Rollup type**:
   * **Rollup values** uses the current numeric values from the dependencies.
   * **Rollup percentages** uses their current completion percentages.
6. Choose the **Method**:
   * **Sum** adds current values and is available for **Rollup values**.
   * **Average** averages the values or percentages.
   * **Latest** uses the most recently published dependency value.
7. For **Rollup values**, enter the parent target and starting value.
8. Review the **Preview value**, then select **Save**.

If no items appear under **Dependent key results**, return to the details panel and add them with **Add dependency**.

## Enable automatic updates

On Premium workspaces, enable **Enable auto-sync** to sync progress from the dependencies without a manual value update.

1. Turn on **Sync progress with the data source**.
2. Set **Sync interval** to **Daily** or **Weekly**.
3. If available, enable **Tability AI** when you also want AI analysis included with the synced progress.
4. Select **Save**.

Without auto-sync, the roll-up value is still calculated from the connected dependencies when the key result is updated.

## Check the relationship chain

Open the [Dependencies Map](/docs/become-a-tability-power-user/features/dependencies-map.md) from the parent key result. Use **Dependencies** to trace contributors downstream or **Both** to include the parent's upstream context.

## Troubleshooting

### A team key result is missing from the roll-up

Confirm that it appears under **Dependencies** on the parent. A **Related** connection does not contribute to a roll-up.

### Sum is not available

Choose **Rollup values**. Percentage roll-ups support **Average** and **Latest**, not **Sum**.

### Auto-sync is disabled

Auto-sync requires Premium. You can still save the roll-up configuration and update it without the scheduled sync.
