IF Then [Incorrect Argument] Question.

Please assist with this formula:

=IF(Status@row, "Fully Approved", [Signing Status]@row, "Sent", NETDAYS([Fully Approved Date]@row + 1))


In this case the bold portion is my THEN calculation.

    I also tried

    =IF(AND(Status@row, "Fully Approved", [Signing Status]@row, "Sent",) NETDAYS([Fully Approved Date]@row + 1), "")

    Hi @Mike B - What are you trying to make the formula do? I think there's an issue particularly with the NETDAYS. What are the dates you're trying to determine? If you're trying to see the NETDAYS between the "Fully Approved Date" and today+1, this should work.

    =IF(AND(Status@row = "Fully Approved", [Signing Status]@row = "Sent"), NETDAYS([Fully Approved Date]@row, TODAY(+1)), "")

    Hi Amber, If the two conditions are met, I wanted to calculate the number of days between Fully Approved Date and current date.

    I received the error: UNPARSEABLE

    The formula is meeting the conditions; however the result is #INCORRECT ARGUMENT set.
