IF function

Ahmet - newby

Hi,

I have the below formula but it is not working. Can you see where I'm going wrong?

=IF([(Fuel Expense) Fuel Type]@row="Unleaded Petrol (£0.25 per mile)","0.25",IF([(Fuel Expense) Fuel Type]@row="Diesel (£0.45 per mile)",0.45",IF([(Fuel Expense) Fuel Type]@row="Electricity (£0.10 per mile)","0.10")))

Column B needs to show a decimal version of the value that is presented in Column A ((Fuel Expense) Fuel Type)

Thanks,

Ahmet

I think you're just missing one set of " before the 0.45. Try this:

=IF([(Fuel Expense) Fuel Type]@row="Unleaded Petrol (£0.25 per mile)","0.25",IF([(Fuel Expense) Fuel Type]@row="Diesel (£0.45 per mile)","0.45",IF([(Fuel Expense) Fuel Type]@row="Electricity (£0.10 per mile)","0.10")))

Good afternoon Ahmet!

When you say it is not working, are you receiving a specific error message in the cell? Or are you getting other values than what you are looking for?

Hi Hayley,

The error message I get is #UNPARSEABLE

Thanks for taking a look...
