Nested IF Formula with Blank Cell Condition

Hi,

I was able to get this formula to work, where:

90% or higher = Green RYGG ball
76% to 89% = Yellow RYGG ball
75% or lower = Red RYGG ball

=IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 >= 0.9, "Green", IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 >= 0.76, "Yellow", IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 <= 0.75, "Red")))

However, I am struggling to find a solution where a blank cell under the [Proj. Blended Average] column results in a "Gray" ball (or no ball would also be fine). I've tried a couple variations of the formula below to no avail (resulting in either a red ball or the "#UNPARSEABLE" error).

=IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 >= 0.9, "Green", IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 >= 0.76, "Yellow", IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 <= 0.75, "Red", IF(ISBLANK([Proj. Blended Average]4, "Gray")))))

Additionally, replacing any colors in the first formula with "Gray" does result in a gray ball. The attached screenshot shows the above formula under January Targets (Column 10) and the below formula under February Targets (Column 10).

Does anyone have any insight where I am taking a wrong turn?

Thank you for your time.

This should work.

=IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 >= 0.9, "Green", IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 >= 0.76, "Yellow", IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 <= 0.75, "Red", IF(ISBLANK([Proj. Blended Average]5), "Gray"))))

You just had to put a closing parenthesis after ISBLANK formula there.

Thanks Mike! I still had trouble with the ISBLANK formula, but had success with:

=IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 = "", "Gray", IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 >= 0.9, "Green", IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 >= 0.76, "Yellow", IF([Proj. Blended Average]4 <= 0.75, "Red"))))

Awesome. Glad I was able to help point you in the right direction.

Is there a way to create a 3-digit padding for numbers
Hi all, and thanks in advance! I wanted to know if there was any way to create "padding" in Smartsheet. Basically I have account numbers, and a handful are still 2-digit, so they appear as TDL-17, TDL-67, etc. Most of the accounts are 3-digit numbers like TDL-180. I want something that will recognize whether it is 2 or 3…
