Status Change if Column Checked

lisarae723

Hi everyone,

I need some help with a formula that just doesn't want to work for me. Currently my status column changes according to the {Proof Approval - Kim} column. It works fine (formula shown below)

Now I want to add on to this formula so, if the column {Out For Approval} is checked, I want the status to change from "In Prepress" to "Out For Approval". 

Status Column:  

=IF([Proof Approval - Kim]@row = "approved", "proof approved", IF([Proof Approval - Kim]@row = "not approved", "pending", IF([Plate Number]@row = "", "Pending", "In Prepress")))

Can anyone help (screenshot also attached)?

Hello,

 

Happy to help! If you'd like the status to change from "In Prepress" to "Out For Approval", if the column {Out For Approval} is checked, you can achieve this by adding to another IF Function to the formula. The IF Function will recognize if the column Out For Approval is checked, which is represented by the value 1. 

 

The formula would look like this:

 

IF([Out For Approval]@row=1,"Out For Approval")

 

Being that you would want this formula to be considered before the "In Progress" because of the order of operation you'll want to place it at the beginning of your formula. Similar to this:

 

=IF([Out For Approval]@row=1,"Out For Approval",IF([Proof Approval - Kim]@row = "approved", "proof approved", IF([Proof Approval - Kim]@row = "not approved", "pending", IF([Plate Number]@row = "", "Pending", "In Prepress"))))

 

Have a wonderful day,
