nesting If. Can't figure out why I get unparseable error

Here is my formula. It is in a project plan:

=IF(TODAY() > [End date]1, [% Complete]1 < 100%, "At Risk", "On Time")

Hi Andy,

At first glance, it looks like the percent complete is wrong. It's written as 1 for 100%.

Try this.

=IF(TODAY() > [End date]1, [% Complete]1 < 1, "At Risk", "On Time")

Have a fantastic weekend!

Did it work?

It also looks like you might be wanting to make sure both of those stipulations apply...

Try this... IF(And(TODAY() > [End date]1, [% Complete]1 < 1),"At Risk", "On Time")

I had tried that earlier and it didn't so I just tried again. Now error is incomplete argument set

=IF(TODAY() > [End date]1, [% Complete]1 < 1, "At Risk", "On Time")

That worked! Thanks so much Mike. I tried the "and" earlier and it wasn't working. Then I read that you can list "if" conditions (and it's called nesting) so I tried going with that.

Thanks so much!!!
