Formula for pulling one column if a box is checked and another if another box is checked

Hello

I am attempting to write a formula that will calculate commissions in different scenarios - if buyer is represented, I want it to calculate the total price at 5.5%, if buyer is unrepresented, I want it to calculate the total price at 4%. I set up 2 checkbox columns one for unrepresented, one for unrepped. I have formulas in the commissions1 and commission2 set to calculate appropriately. I am just needing to figure out how to return in my commissions column either commissions1 or commissions2 based on the checkbox column but cannot figure it out.

Here is the formula I have been trying but it keeps coming back as unparseable - I'm not sure what I am doing wrong? Formula here:

=IF(AND([buyer repped]@row = 1, [buyer unrepped]@row = 0), Commissions1@row, IF (AND([buyer repped]@row = 0, [buyer unrepped]@row = 1), Commissions2@row, IF (AND([buyer repped]@row = 0, [buyer unrepped]@row = 0, "")))

  • I think you're just missing a bracket after the last 0, so should be:

    =IF(AND([buyer repped]@row = 1, [buyer unrepped]@row = 0), Commissions1@row, IF (AND([buyer repped]@row = 0, [buyer unrepped]@row = 1), Commissions2@row, IF (AND([buyer repped]@row = 0, [buyer unrepped]@row = 0), "")))

    Hope that solves it,

  • Thanks Jeremy, I tried that but unfortunately its still returning as unparseable

  • I have found a workaround. In my situation, it will always either be one way or another, there will never be a situation in which a buyer is both represented and unrepresented, so I just placed a formula in the commissions column that adds together the commissions1 and commissions2 columns since one will always be 0. I'd still be curious to figure out what I was doing incorrectly with the original formula but this suits my purposes for now.
