I'm trying to create a function to accomplsh the following: 

 

If coulumn 2 is checked, and column 3 is not checked, then the RYG ball in column 4 is green. If Column 2 is not checked, and column 3 is checked, then the RYG ball in column 4 is Red. When nothing in column 2 or 3 is checked, no RYG ball is displayed in column 4. 

 

Any help?? Thanks

  • Wow, drank some coffee and solved my own problem. Lol. Here's the function: 

     

    =IF(AND([Column2]1 = 1, [Column3]1 = 0), "Green", IF(AND([Column2]1 = 0, [Column3]1 = 1), "Red"))

    Hello,

    Is it possible to create a function that will automate RYGB balls based on a column call "Status Details" with the following drop down options:

     

    Not Yet Started - would like a blue ball

    Review - would like a yellow ball

    Complete - would like a green ball

    Outstanding - would like a red ball

     

    Thank you.

    =IF(AND([Due Date]1 < TODAY(), [Customer Sign off]1 = 0), "Red"))

    Clark, 

     

    Not quite sure.

    Except for the extra ) at the end, it looks OK but did not work for me either (without it)

     

    =IF(AND([Due Date]1 < TODAY(), [Customer Sign off]1 = 0), "Red", "")

     

    adds the false condition, but that is not needed

     

    =IF(AND([Due Date]1 < TODAY(), [Customer Sign off]1 = 0), "Red")

     

    works too. 

    I retyped it and it works now.

    (head-scratching)
