RYG Date and multi columns

James Emge

I am working on a display for RYG indicators where my data collection sheet will look at today's date, a site that has either confirmed a check, failed one or has not performed it yet. I have pieced this together from some of the terrific responses found here but I keep getting that unparseble error. The columns light up like they are being referenced properly but all I get is the error. Any assistance is appreciated.  

 

 

=IF(AND(DATEONLY(Created:Created) = TODAY(), IF(Site:Site "Phoenix", IF(Checkout:Checkout "Yes","Green", "Yellow"),"Red")

Hi James,

At a glance, it seems like you've missed an equal sign (=), and there might be some more errors as well.

Try this.

=IF(AND(DATEONLY(Created:Created) = TODAY(), IF(Site:Site "Phoenix", IF(Checkout:Checkout = "Yes","Green", "Yellow"),"Red")

Did it work?

If not, 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)

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

@James Emge Forget the above, I read it wrong. Can you explain in more detail what you want the formula to do?

Hi Andree' thank you for the quick response. Pretty much i have techs who are expected to check certain systems each day and through forms report it using their site etc. I have a dashboard that i would like to have this status display there via the RYG.. R= Not completed today, yellow = completed but issues, green = all good. I would like for it to look at todays date, identify the site and if they are marking it Yes = Green, No = Yellow or if they have not yet completed it, to show red. attached is a screenshot of how it is basically setup.

Happy to help!

Try something like this.

=IF(AND(Created@row = TODAY(), Site@row = "Phoenix", Checkout@row = "Yes"), "Green", 
IF(AND(Created@row = TODAY(), Site@row = "Phoenix", Checkout@row = "No"), "Yellow", 
IF(AND(Created@row = TODAY(), Site@row = "Phoenix", Checkout@row = ""), "Red")))

Did it work?

HI thanks for the assist but still get the unparsed error.

🤔

Can you maybe share the sheet(s) or a copy? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Hi Andree' and thanks for helping me with this. attached are 2 screenshots, one of the structure and the other of what a row looks like when it is added. Let me know what else I can provide.

I'm always happy to help!

Can you share the exact formula you tried?

James Emge

Good Morning - The first is mine, the second was your suggestion;

=IF(AND(DATEONLY(Created:Created) = TODAY(), IF(Site:Site "Phoenix", IF(Checkout:Checkout = "Yes","Green", "Yellow"),"Red")

 

=IF(AND(Created@row = TODAY(), Site@row = "Phoenix", Checkout@row = "Yes"), "Green", IF(AND(Created@row = TODAY(), Site@row = "Phoenix", Checkout@row = "No"), "Yellow", IF(AND(Created@row = TODAY(), Site@row = "Phoenix", Checkout@row = ""), "Red")))

I think I found the error. In your screenshot it looks like the Site column is named _Site. Try changing the column name or the formula so they match.

Did that fix it?

James Emge

There are two columns named Site, One is the one they select when they make an entry, the other is for counts etc. since there cannot be two columns named the same, i added a _ to the one that is for the counts.

Ok. The easiest would be if you could share the sheet or a copy of it so I can have a look and see what the problem is.
