Formula return blank result

I've attempted multiple times to create a function that result in Blue, Yellow, Green, Red health and it has been unsuccessful.

Here are the results that I am aiming at:

On Track > "Complete" "In Progress" = Green

Ahead > "Complete" = Green

Ahead > "In Progress" = Blue

At Risk > "Not Started" "In Progress" = Red

Behind > "In Progress" = Yellow

This is the recent function I attempted with blank result (highlighted) in the image.

=IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "On Track", State3 = "Complete"), "Green", IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 <> "On Track", TODAY() > [End Date]3), IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "Ahead", State3 = "In Progress"), "Blue", IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 <> "Ahead", TODAY() < [End Date]3)), IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "At Risk", State3 = "In Progress"), "Red", IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "Behind", State3 = "In Progress"), "Yellow", "")))))

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I believe the primary issue was you were closing an IF statement a little too early by having two closing parenthesis in the middle of your statement.

Try this one:

=IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "On Track", State3 = "Complete"), "Green", IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 <> "On Track", TODAY() > [End Date]3), IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "Ahead", State3 = "In Progress"), "Blue", IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 <> "Ahead", TODAY() < [End Date]3), IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "At Risk", State3 = "In Progress"), "Red", IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "Behind", State3 = "In Progress"), "Yellow", ""))))))

Thanks for this input. Unfortunately, this result did not create the correct output.

What are you seeing? Can you tell us what you are getting, provide a screenshot with the data if not sensitive so we can better help you? It might be that we need to rearrange things.

Hi,

At a glance, it seems like you're missing some true statements for the bold ones below + there were as Mike noticed one-to-many parenthesis. What do you want show if the bold ones below are true?

=IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "On Track", State3 = "Complete"), "Green",

IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 <> "On Track", TODAY() > [End Date]3),

IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "Ahead", State3 = "In Progress"), "Blue",

IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 <> "Ahead", TODAY() < [End Date]3)),

IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "At Risk", State3 = "In Progress"), "Red",

IF(AND([Health | Milestone]3 = "Behind", State3 = "In Progress"), "Yellow", "")))))

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Is there a way to create a 3-digit padding for numbers
Hi all, and thanks in advance! I wanted to know if there was any way to create "padding" in Smartsheet. Basically I have account numbers, and a handful are still 2-digit, so they appear as TDL-17, TDL-67, etc. Most of the accounts are 3-digit numbers like TDL-180. I want something that will recognize whether it is 2 or 3…
