#Unparseable Error When attempting to use IF function

Hello Everyone, I am trying to write an IF function to automatically change the value of a certain cell for certain conditions.

For some reason I keep getting the #Unparseable error when I type out this formula.

=IF((NETDAYS([Date Need By] 6, Today())) < 3, [At Risk], [In Progress])

I have attached a screenshot of the sheet.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
