Returning 3 results for approval results from multiple Approvers

Dale Burton

Hi Everyone - First community post!

I'm trying to work out a formula for the below scenario:

I have an approval workflow set up for 10 approvers to one request.

If everyone approves, I want to return a result for "All Approved"

If everyone declines, I want to return a result for "All Declined"

If no consensus is reached (e.g. 7 approve, 3 decline) I want to return a result for "No Consensus Reached".

I've played around with nested IF statements but cannot get close to what I require, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks all :)

Hi @Dale Burton

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF(COUNTIF([Column1]@row:[Column10]@row; <>"") = 10; IF(COUNTIF([Column1]@row:[Column10]@row; "Approved") = 10; "All Approved"; IF(COUNTIF([Column1]@row:[Column10]@row; "Declined") = 10; "All Declined"; IF(CONTAINS("Approved"; [Column1]1:[Column10]1); "No Consensus Reached"))))

Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
