symbols - words showing not colour

Hello please can someone help with formatting?

I can't understand why the word Grey is showing rather than the symbol?

I've selected the set for the 4 colours from the symbol menu for the status column and created the below formula

=IF(Status15 = "Complete", "Green", IF(Status15 = "In Progress", "Yellow", IF(Status15 = "Not Started", "Grey", IF(Status15 = "Delayed", "Red"))))

Hi Laura,

Try this.

Grey should be Gray for Smartsheet to interpret it. I also updated your formula with @row, so you don't have to think about row numbers.

=IF(Status@row = "Complete", "Green", IF(Status@row = "In Progress", "Yellow", IF(Status@row = "Not Started", "Gray", IF(Status@row = "Delayed", "Red"))))

Did it work?

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

Best,

License Question
I already have a Smartsheet license with my company, but I was recently invited to collaborate on a sheet owned by another group within the same organization.
