Creating a function formula to insert arrow indicators
![MarianneD617](https://us.v-cdn.net/6031209/uploads/avatarstock/nWVKDFTEFOKBN.png)
Hi,
I have one column called "Revenue is declining, stable, or growing" with numeric values of 1,2,3
The numeric values go into a total score and ranking for the account. That works fine.
In addition, in a separate column, I need to set up a function to give an up, down, neutral indicator based off the value in the above column.
Here's what I've tried and get an unparseable error:
=IF([Revenue is declining, stable, or growing]@row = 2, "Sideways", IF([Revenue is declining, stable, or growing]@row = 3 "Up",IF([Revenue is declining, stable, or growing]@row = 1, "Down"))
Here's an example of what I'm aiming for but I don't have the function set correctly for the trend indicator.
Thanks!

If you mean like this:
=IF([Revenue is declining, stable, or growing]@row = 2, "Sideways", IF([Revenue is declining, stable, or growing]@row = 3 "Up", IF([Revenue is declining, stable, or growing]@row = 1, "Down")))
I still get an unparseable error. (Revenue Trend was set up as symbols after I saved the formula).
I'm missing something...?
Thanks

I was missing a comma after the 3. Solved with persistence!

Your formula is missing the third closing “)” on the end. Also, make sure the [Revenue Trend] column is setup as Symbols.
