Formula to fill in cell value depending on employee

Options

I have a need to have specific values populate a cell based on the Employee value entered from a form.

For example:

If Steve enters his information from the form, I need the Category cell to populate with Sales Tools.

If Jen enters her information from the form, I need the Category cell to populate with Digital Marketing.

If anyone else enters info from the form, Category cell should populate with Consulting.

I have tried IF, IF(OR, IF(OR(OR and always get UNPARSABLE error.

Please help.

    Hi Jerry,

    Try something like this.

    =IF(ISBLANK(Employee@row); ""; IF(Employee@row = "Steve"; "Sales Tools"; IF(Employee@row = "Jen"; "Digital Marketing"; "Consulting")))

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

    =IF(ISBLANK(Employee@row), "", IF(Employee@row = "Steve", "Sales Tools", IF(Employee@row = "Jen", "Digital Marketing", "Consulting")))

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

    Did that work?

    I hope that helps!

    Have a fantastic weekend!
