Multiplying Cells in an IF statement
Morning Smartsheeters..
Was hoping someone could shed some light on why this statement isn't working..
=IF(Part75 = "Labour", [Supply Price]75 * [Quantity]75)
I'm trying to multiply two cells based on whether the labour cost is Labour, or Labour O/T.. but I'm getting an INVALID OPERATION FAILURE.
Thank you.

NVM, worked it out :)
the value in the IF statment for the "Supply Price was "£45".. Removing the £ and changing the cell type to a currency fixed it.

Hi @John_CGS
Strange!
It should work.
Make sure that you only have numbers in the Supply Price and Quantity columns.
Also, you can simplify the formula by using the @row function.
=IF(Part@row = "Labour", [Supply Price]@row * Quantity@row)
Can you maybe share 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!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Thank you Andree! I managed to get it working by removing the £ in the cells i was multiplying by as you suggested.
Also thank you for the tip on the @row function!

Excellent!
You're more than welcome!
Also, you can add the currency through the menubar instead if you still want it to show.
