Nested If Statements

Margaret.clarkson

I'm trying to check a box to indicate whether a remediation item has been opened or closed in the past year.

 

My relevant fields are report date, target date, and date closed. Date Closed could potentially be blank.

 

Here is the formula I've been trying to refine: =IF(OR(TODAY() - [Report Date]77 < 365, TODAY() - [Last Remed Target Date]77 < 365), IF(NOT(ISBLANK([Date Closed]77)), IF(TODAY() - [Date Closed]77 < 365, 1, 0, 0, 0)))

 

I'm sure my brackets are incorrect at this point. Can someone please help me correct this?

I think your issue may be with

IF(TODAY() - [Date Closed]77 < 365, 1, 0, 0, 0)

 

The if should have 3 parameters

condition, if true, if fals

You have 5 parameters in that if .... i guess some of those 0s belong with the other ifs

maybe you meant

=IF(OR(TODAY() - [Report Date]77 < 365, TODAY() - [Last Remed Target Date]77 < 365), IF(NOT(ISBLANK([Date Closed]77)), IF(TODAY() - [Date Closed]77 < 365, 1, 0), 0), 0)

I definitely know the three 0's at the end are wrong. I had tried several variations with the aid of a coworker and finally just decided to waive the white flag.

I've tried what you've proposed above and still get "#Invalid Operation".

Maybe there is something with one of your field names then? I tried the following in a test sheet that i have and i did not get an error

 

=IF(OR(TODAY() - TestDate1 < 365, TODAY() - TestDate2 < 365), IF(NOT(ISBLANK(TestDate3)), IF(TODAY() - TestDate4 < 365, 1, 0), 0), 0)
