IF Formula for "ball color"
I am creating a sheet where you have to with a dropdown menu for each calender week (CW) in which you can choose between "fulfilled", "partly fulfilled" and "not fulfilled".
I want to connect these field with another column where I use the ball symbols (fulfilled = green, partly fulfilled = yellow, not fulfilled = red)
I used the IF formula:
=IF([CW 30]@row = "not fulfilled"; "Red") and it works fine
but when I want to add the other colors I get an UNPARSEABLE error
Here's the formula I used:
=IF([CW 30]@row = "not fulfilled"; "Red", if([CW 30]@row = "partly fulfilled"; "Yellow", if([CW 30]@row = "fulfilled"; "Green")))
The original formula I used is in German but it worked the same
Can you help me?

Hope you are fine, please try the following formula and convert it to column format formula:
=IFERROR(IF([CW 30]@row = "not fulfilled", "Red", IF([CW 30]@row = "partly fulfilled", "Yellow", IF([CW 30]@row = "fulfilled", "Green"))), "")
the following screenshot shows the result:

Hi @Bassam Khalil ,
thx a lot for your quick answer!
I tried to convert the formula to my sheet but it still doens't work. What am I missing?

I hope you're well and safe!
At a glance, it looks like you have used a comma at the end.
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

You must use a column "Symbol type" RGB like what I used in my sample, but you are highlighting your cell and this different approach, it's conditional formatting.
