Need help with a IF(OR) formula

Lisa Lewis

I have the "base" formula correct and working but can't figure out how to string it together (are there best practices in this area?) with a larger formula:

This piece works: =IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "January", [Go Live Month]@row = "February", [Go Live Month]@row = "March"), "Q120")

I want to add conditions for the rest of the year, but again, can't figure out how to link it all together.

IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "April", [Go Live Month]@row = "May", [Go Live Month]@row = "June"), "Q2-2020"),

IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "July", [Go Live Month]@row = "August", [Go Live Month]@row = "September"), "Q3-2020"),

IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "October", [Go Live Month]@row = "November", [Go Live Month]@row = "December"), "Q4-2020")

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Lisa,

Try something like this.

-=IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "January"; [Go Live Month]@row = "February"; [Go Live Month]@row = "March"); "Q1-2020"; IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "April"; [Go Live Month]@row = "May"; [Go Live Month]@row = "June"); "Q2-2020"; IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "July"; [Go Live Month]@row = "August"; [Go Live Month]@row = "September"); "Q3-2020"; IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "October"; [Go Live Month]@row = "November"; [Go Live Month]@row = "December"); "Q4-2020"))))

The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.

-=IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "January", [Go Live Month]@row = "February", [Go Live Month]@row = "March"), "Q1-2020", IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "April", [Go Live Month]@row = "May", [Go Live Month]@row = "June"), "Q2-2020", IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "July", [Go Live Month]@row = "August", [Go Live Month]@row = "September"), "Q3-2020", IF(OR([Go Live Month]@row = "October", [Go Live Month]@row = "November", [Go Live Month]@row = "December"), "Q4-2020"))))

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Did it work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!
