Nested If with Multiple Check Box to Status Type

Kristina Howes

I was hoping I could get some help here.

So I've decided to create a status for each of the tasks my employee is working on.

Categories include:

Done

On Deck

In Progress

Not Started

There is a checkbox column for each category.

IF([Done]@row=1,"Done"

IF([On Deck]@row=1, "On Deck"

IF([In Progress]@row=1, "In Progress"

Otherwise, "not started"

How do I nest the statements so that all of these if statements can occur simultaneously?

IF([Done]@row=1,"Done",IF([On Deck]@row=1, "On Deck",IF([In Progress]@row=1, "In Progress","not started"

Copy paste that in.

Really the better way to do this is to have a dropdown with each option in them as right now multiple can be selected at the same time. This would get rid of the need for this formula entirely, but I suppose you might have your reasons for doing it this way. Also, to account for multiple being checked at the same time you can use the formula below.

IF([Done]@row=1,"Done")+IF([On Deck]@row=1, "On Deck")+IF([In Progress]@row=1, "In Progress")+if(and([Done]@row <> 1,[On Deck]@row <> 1, [In Progress]@row <> 1),"Not Started")

Thanks for the answer!

I initially started with a drop down selection, but was having trouble with the nested if statements.

Then went to the check boxes.

Ideally, what would have happened is

IF([Done]@row=1,"Done")+IF([On Deck]@row=1, "On Deck")+IF([In Progress]@row=1, "In Progress")+if(and([Done]@row <> 1,[On Deck]@row <> 1, [In Progress]@row <> 1),"Not Started")

Where

In Progress and Done can be checked by the person performing the task

On Deck is anything greater than the start date, but less than the target date

Not started is anything greater than 15 days out.

Is that nested statement possible?

I kept gettting unparseable.

Thoughts on how to work around this?

Based on frequency selected change the formula for the created date.
I feel like this should be super simple but I am just not getting it right. Based on Frequency: Daily, weekly, monthly I want to change the next due date This will be calulated from Created column and +1, 7, 30 etc added.

Summary sheet values don't update in dashboard without entering source sheet?
I have a sheet summary report on a dashboard and oftentimes the values will not update unless I go into the source sheet and manually save the updates.
