What is the best way to combine these 2 formulas and simplify it.

=IF(SPECIES@row = "Roses", IF([TYPE OF POT]@row = "LPD", IF(PINK@row = "", IF(RED@row = "", [Type]@row / 72, (PINK@row + RED@row / 4) / 72))))

=IF(SPECIES@row = "Roses", IF([TYPE OF POT]@row = "LPS", IF(PINK@row = "", IF(RED@row = "", [Type]@row / 36, (PINK@row + RED@row / 4) / 36))))

    Hi @Mary Kam

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to run the first formula if all the criteria are met, and if not (ex. if TYPE OF POT is "LPS" instead of "LPD"), then run the second formula.

    If so, try something like this:

    =IF(AND(SPECIES@row = "Roses", [TYPE OF POT]@row = "LPD"), IF(AND(PINK@row = "", RED@row = ""), Type@row / 72, (PINK@row + RED@row / 4) / 72), IF(AND(SPECIES@row = "Roses", [TYPE OF POT]@row = "LPS"), IF(AND(PINK@row = "", RED@row = ""), Type@row / 36, (PINK@row + RED@row / 4) / 36)))


    It uses the "Value if False" to go into your second statement. Let me know if this works for you and if it makes sense!

    Cheers,

    Genevieve
