Populating a Value in a Column Based on a Dropdown value in another

dnelms44

Trying to get this formula to work. Taking a value (4 different values) that is a word "1 Year" and create a days value column so it can be used in a date calculation column. In this case the value in the DaysValue column would be 365.

=IF([SelfExclusionLength]@row = "1 Year", "365", [Days Value]@row)

I get a circular reference each time. Is it because there are multiple choices in the self exclusion dropdown list. Any simple way to attach a numeric value to a dropdown list value programmatically? We can't use days in the dropdown which would solve the problem.

Any ideas?

Any chance you could provide a screenshot of the sheet?

Note the days value right now is being entered manually to make sure I had the end date calculating correctly

Hi @dnelms44

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF([SelfExclusionLength]@row = "1 Year", 365)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,
