Is there a limit to the length of If/And Statements?

John M Lee

I have the following statement and it works for the bold section but when I add the italic section I receive an 'UNPARSABLE' error.  Thoughts?

=IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"), [Column2]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"), [Column3]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"), [Column4]2,IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"), [Column5]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"), [Column2]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"), [Column3]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"), [Column4]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"), [Column5]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = “<25”),[Column2]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = “26-50”),[Column3]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = “51-100”),[Column4]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = “>100”), [Column5]4))))))))))))

I have 2 more statement sections I would like to add if possible.

IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = “<25”),[Column2]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = “26-50”),[Column3]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = “51-100”),[Column4]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = “>100”),[Column5]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = “<25”),[Column2]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = “26-50”),[Column3]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = “51-100”),[Column4]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = “>100”),[Column5]6

Hi John,

If I remember correctly, the limit is 4000 characters.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Thank you for the quick response but the character count above is 973 with spaces. I can't figure out what is wrong if anything.

Happy to help!

Could you maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I think I found the error. You had a few characters that were wrong.

“” and I replaced them with ".

Try this.

=IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"), [Column2]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"), [Column3]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"), [Column4]2,IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"), [Column5]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"), [Column2]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"), [Column3]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"), [Column4]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"), [Column5]3,IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"),[Column2]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"),[Column3]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"),[Column4]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"), [Column5]4))))))))))))

I have 2 more statement sections I would like to add if possible.

IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"),[Column2]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"),[Column3]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"),[Column4]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"),[Column5]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"),[Column2]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"),[Column3]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"),[Column4]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"),[Column5]6

Did it work?

Yes, the issue was that somewhere down the line Smart Quotes were inserted instead of straight quotes. Always compose your formulas in a basic text editor. Word and Google Docs adds a different quote to your formulas which break smartseheet.  

John M Lee

This worked!  Thank you very much.  I was writing the statement in Word and didn't realize it was converting the style/angle of those double quotes.

 

Thanks!

Great!

I'm always happy to help!
