Symbols Formula. How do I make a symbol depend on two other columns?

Hugo Martinwall

Hello!

I am trying to make a symbol formula that will become "1" (red flag) IF the Start date is in the past, AND if a dropdown list DONT show "Done".

 

Anyone that has this formula or knows how to write one?

 

Kind Regards//

OR

I would need a formula that makes a flag turn red IF two other symbol columns is "1"

Hi Hugo,

Try this.

=IF(AND([Symbol1]@row = 1; [Symbol2]@row = 1); 1)

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Try this for the first question.

=IF(AND(NOT(Status@row = "Done"); Date@row < TODAY()); 1; 0)

Did it work?

Hi!

Thank you!

That formula works!

 

But I just noticed that I need it to work based on 5 symbols!

I cant get that to work with the same structure. Do I need more "AND" ?

Hi!

This is exactly the structure that I am looking for!

 

My status column is a dropdown list with several choices.

Is it possible for the formula to also become "0" (not red) if 3 other statuses is in the status column?

 

Then I have the formula that would make my sheet sooo much better!

 

Kind Regards//

Happy to help!

No, you don't need more AND.

Try this.

=IF(AND([Symbol1]@row = 1; [Symbol2]@row = 1; [Symbol3]@row = 1; [Symbol4]@row = 1; [Symbol5]@row = 1); 1)

Probably, can you describe what you need in more detail?

Ok!

So each row would need a flag that becomes red IF  the start date is in the past AND status is not "done" OR "waiting for x", "Waiting for y" and "waiting for z"

Is this possible?

Try something like this.

=IF(AND(AND(Status@row <> "Done"; Status@row <> "Waiting for x"; Status@row <> "Waiting for y"; Status@row <> "Waiting for z"); TODAY() > [Start Date]@row); 1; 0)    

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

=IF(AND(AND(Status@row <> "Done", Status@row <> "Waiting for x", Status@row <> "Waiting for y", Status@row <> "Waiting for z"), TODAY() > [Start Date]@row), 1, 0)

Did it work?
