Why can I copy and paste my if formula in rows, but I cannot convert it to a formula column?

Options

My IF/OR formula will not let me convert to a column formula, but I can copy and paste the formula without issues. What are the reasons?

    Hi @RP36_36

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Can you share the formula and maybe some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,

    =IF(AND([Door 1 Min Width]@row <= Max$1, [Door 1 Min Width]@row >= Min$1), [FR Production]$1, IF(AND([Door 1 Min Width]@row <= Max$2, [Door 1 Min Width]@row >= Min$2), [FR Production]$2, "NA"))

    You can't reference a cell directly and convert it to a column formula. There might be a workaround, but then I'll need to see the structure of your sheet and understand what you want to accomplish in more detail.

    I hope that helps!
