Using the IF and FIND function multiple times

Mily Oti

=IF([INT REQ]@row = "No", "Not Needed", IF(FIND("TH", [APPT LOCATION]@row) > 0, "Teams", " "))

The above formula works just fine. What I want it to do is look for certain initials and assign different modalities. For example, if the APPT LOCATION starts with "TH" it will assign Teams. So far so good. I also want it to look at APPT LOCATION again and if it starts with "WIC or "NC", then assign VRI. I have tried the following but it gives me #INCORRECT.

=IF([INT REQ]@row = "No", "Not Needed", IF(FIND("TH", [APPT LOCATION]@row) > 0, "Teams", " ", IF(FIND("WIC", [APPT LOCATION]@row) > 0, "VRI", " ")))

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi @Mily Oti

When you're adding multiple IF statements together, you'll want to "nest" them in a way that says IF this is NOT correct, then check the OTHER IF statement.

This means you'll want to take out the " " at the end of your first statement and go directly into your next IF statement as the value if false, like so:

=IF([INT REQ]@row = "No", "Not Needed", IF(FIND("TH", [APPT LOCATION]@row) > 0, "Teams", IF(FIND("WIC", [APPT LOCATION]@row) > 0, "VRI")))

Let me know if this works for you!

Cheers,
