IF Statement Confusion

IFCJDirOps

I am perplexed by an uber simple IF statement that is giving the wrong results for only a few rows. I am using the following formula:

=IF(Amount@row < "5000.00", 1, 2)

where the amount column is in $.

For all but 3 rows, the correct value is displayed.

I have tried with $ operator and without cents but nothing works. I have deleted rows and recreated.

Hi @IFCJDirOps

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF(Amount@row < 5000, 1, 2)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend & Happy Holidays!

Best,

Thanks Andree but I have tried all combinations of the formatting for the 5000 ($5000.00, 5000.00, $5000) but to no avail. The formula works correctly for all values except 3. Most fustrating.

Ah, figured it out. I removed the quotes and all appears to be working.

To add.

The quotes make Smartsheet see it as text.
