Unparseable

Lenya McGrath

Hi,

I'm trying assign a number to the $ symbol.

I'm using this formula:

=IF(6_state_$ = "Empty", 0, 6_state_$ = "One", 1, IF(6_state_$ = "Two", 2, IF(6_state_$ = "Three", 3, IF(6_state_$ = "Four", 4, IF(6_state_$ = "Five", 5, 0))))))

But it comes back with unparseable. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance!

Try something like this.

=IF([Scope Value]@row = "Empty", 0, IF([Scope Value]@row = "One", 1, IF([Scope Value]@row = "Two", 2, IF([Scope Value]@row = "Three", 3, IF([Scope Value]@row = "Four", 4, IF([Scope Value]@row = "Five", 5))))))

Did that work?

Hi @Lenya McGrath

Can you maybe share some screenshots of your column names? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Hi Lenya, assuming that 6_state_$ is a reference to a cell, try enclosing it in square brackets [ ] also, I'm not seeing a reference to the row number. For example [6_state_$]5 (with 5 being row 5. Or try using @row for the two number.

Hope this helps. If not, please include a screen shot.

Cheers,

Thank you so much for replying @Ramzi @Andrée Starå

I've tried adding square brackets and a reference row number, but I'm still getting the unparseable.

Here is a screenshot for you. Is there anything else I should do?
