IF Formula
I am trying to write an IF formula to convert a single select text option into a numerical value, but am receiving an #INVALIDOPERATION error message. Formula is below. Can you advise where I am going wrong?
=IF({Level of Scrutiny} = "High", 2, IF({Level of Scrutiny} = "Moderate", 1, IF({Level of Scrutiny} = "Low", 0)))

Hi @Ashley Weres
Hope you are fine, as i see you are trying to reference a different sheet with your if formula and the If function is not working in this way.

I hope you're well and safe!
To add to Bassam's excellent advice/answer.
Do you want to look for the value in a cell or a column?
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
