Task Overdue

Dear Community,

Can someone please help me to correct my formula here . I want to show that if the due date is over and the task status is not marked Completed or Cancelled it should show as a Overdue.

    Aatish,

    Your formula has conflicting statements in the AND() function. You need to insert an OR() function for the Status column range. Try this:

    If (

    and (

    or (

    Contains("Assigned",Status@row),

    Contains("In-Progress",Status@row),

    Contains("Awaiting more Information",Status@row)

    ),

    Today() > [Due Date]@row

    ),

    "Overdue",

    ""

    )

    I’m on the bus, so I can’t test this, but you need to connect the tests of the status field with an OR statement.

    You could also use NOT β€œCompleted” instead of testing the alternatives.

    bascially you arrive at NOT β€œcompleted” AND due date in the past

    Hi Rich,

    Can you also help how I can combine these two formulas together. Currently I am using them in two individual columns and both formulas are working fine. The column Status Override is checkbox column and if I select the checkbox column the overdue status can be removed.

    So basically first we need the show the overdue based on the first formula and if we wanted to remove the overdue status we just need to select the checkbox column "Status Override".

    =IF(AND(OR(CONTAINS("Assigned", Status@row), CONTAINS("In-Progress", Status@row), CONTAINS("Awaiting more Information", Status@row)), TODAY() > [Due Date]@row), "Overdue", "")

    =IF([Status Override]@row = "True", "", (IF(IFERROR(VLOOKUP([Row ID]@row, {BACKUP}, 1, 0), "") <> "", "Overdue")))
