    Hi @Protonspounge

    Assuming the cell references relate to named columns i.e. M10 is row 10 in column M and that the formula only calculates within that row.

    Changing the cell ref to @row should do the trick as below tested and working

    =IF(M@row<=5,"Low",IF(AND(M@row>=6,M@row<=11),"Medium",IF(AND(M@row>=15,M@row<=25),"High",IF(AND(M@row=12,K@row=4),"High","Medium"))))


    Save and refresh the sheet once the formula is entered if you get the random unparseable error and that should fix it right up.

    Hope that helps

    Thanks
