Return a cell value based on multiple variables

I am having trouble working out a formula to put into a cell. I want the cell to change, based on the value in a cell.

If the 'status' cell in my document is marked as 'complete', I want to change a cell at the end of the document to 'Complete'. If the status cell is marked with anything else other than 'Complete', I want the cell at the end of the document to return the data that is currently in the 'Owner' cell on my document.

How do I do this?

Hi Gary,

Try this.

=IF(Status@row = "Complete"; "Complete"; Owner@row)

The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.

=IF(Status@row = "Complete", "Complete", Owner@row)

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Did it work?

Have a fantastic weekend!

No it didn't unfortunately. I've had to use multiple workarounds to implement this formula:

=IF(OR(Status111 = "Complete", Status111 = "Cancelled", Status111 = "On Hold"), "Other", Owner111)

My card view then filters out any projects that are categoriesed as 'Other'.

I've posted another question as the auto-fill solution for fomulas in Smartsheet seems archaic.

Ok.

It seems like your formula is more complicated than it probably needs to be, but the important part is that it's working for you.

I'll take a look at the other thread as well.

Best,
