Formula to assign colored dot symbol based on field?
Hello all. I am trying to utilize the colored symbol dots (green, red, blue, etc) while also having a text field specifying what the status of an item is.
In my case, I am looking to have the following:
Column A (Status) ------ Column B (Status Dot)
Available ------ Green
Pending ------ Yellow
Unavailable ------ Red
I want to populate the status dot column B based on the selected status of Column A.
If status is Available, set column B to Green
If status is Pending, set column to Yellow
Would anyone be able to help me with creating a formula for Column B based on this info?

Hi @Mycelus
I hope you're well and safe!
Try something like this.
=IF(Status@row = "Available", "Green", IF(Status@row = "Pending", "Yellow", IF(Status@row = "Unavailable", "Red")))
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

I tried this, but am getting unparseable. I have 4 symbol dots, and 5 statuses to formulate:
Status column (dots) -- Item Status column (dropdown single select)
Item Status options:
Available - set to green
Pending - set to yellow
Pending 2 - set to yellow
Pending 3 - set to red
Unavailable - set to gray
