Help w/ IF OR formula

jmo

Hi team - I have a formula that is working for 90% of my selections.

I column called Type with the following drop down options:

• 1st Line Control Testing
• 1st Line Management Identified
• 2nd Line Compliance Self-Identified
• Audit Identified
• Compliance Identified
• Compliance Testing
• DE Assessment Identified
• ECORT-IT
• Risk Management Identified

When I select one of the Types I need the MII/SLOD/3LOD column to show the appropriate selection from the drop down menu:

• FLOD/MII
• SLOD
• 3LOD

I am using the following formula and everything works EXCEPT when I select Audit Identified:

=IF(OR(Type@row = "1st Line Control Testing", Type@row = "1st Line Management Identified", Type@row = "DE Assessment Identified"), "FLOD/MII", IF(OR(Type@row = "2nd Line Compliance Self-Identified", Type@row = "Compliance Identified", Type@row = "Compliance Testing", Type@row = "ECORT-IT", Type@row = "Risk Management Identified"), "SLOD", IF(OR(Type@row = "Audit Identified", "3LOD"))))

Here's what happens:

Any ideas why I'm getting the INCORRECT ARGUMENT error when that is selected but every other selection works as expected?

Hey @jmoser

In your last criteria, you haven't closed off your OR statement before the "3LOD". With only the one term, the OR isn't necessary.

Try this

=IF(OR(Type@row = "1st Line Control Testing", Type@row = "1st Line Management Identified", Type@row = "DE Assessment Identified"), "FLOD/MII", IF(OR(Type@row = "2nd Line Compliance Self-Identified", Type@row = "Compliance Identified", Type@row = "Compliance Testing", Type@row = "ECORT-IT", Type@row = "Risk Management Identified"), "SLOD", IF(Type@row = "Audit Identified", "3LOD")))

cheers,
