Embedding IFERROR into an existing formula

Sarah Thompson

I need some help as to how to embed an IFERROR function into this formula: 

=IF([Group Contract Anticipated]438 = 0, "Gray", IF(ISBLANK([Deposit Due Date]438), "Gray", IF(ISDATE([Deposit Sent]438), "Green", IF(TODAY() - [Deposit Due Date]438 <= -10, "Green", IF(TODAY() - [Deposit Due Date]438 > -7, "Red", IF(TODAY() - [Deposit Due Date]438 > -10, "Yellow"))))))

Someone could put N/A in one of those columns and it comes up as an invalid value, when it's actually fine. I want it to display N/A. 

I'm not 100% sure if IFERROR is even the right function to use. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Sarah.Try this:

=IFERROR(IF([Group Contract Anticipated]438 = 0, "Gray", IF(ISBLANK([Deposit Due Date]438), "Gray", IF(ISDATE([Deposit Sent]438), "Green", IF(TODAY() - [Deposit Due Date]438 <= -10, "Green", IF(TODAY() - [Deposit Due Date]438 > -7, "Red", IF(TODAY() - [Deposit Due Date]438 > -10, "Yellow")))))),"N/A")

Would you want N/A to be gray or empty?

I would like N/A to actually say N/A. I don't know if you can do that in one of those RYGG columns, though. I guess I would prefer it to be gray if I had to choose.

That worked. Thank you. Sometimes I have an issue with the order of operations in these formulas. I never really used them in Excel so Smartsheet is basically my first exposure to them.
