Where does my IF formula go awry?
I have nested IF formulas that work as stand alone statements but when they are combine, I get "INVALID OPERATION"
This is the full operation: =IF([Construction Complete]@row > [Last Weeks Cx date]@row, "Date Slide", =IF([Construction Complete]@row < [Last Weeks Cx date]@row, "Improved", "Same"))
If the first statement is true, it works and I get "Date Slide". If not, I get the error. But if I take just the second statement on, it works for the remainder.
=IF([Construction Complete]@row < [Last Weeks Cx date]@row, "Improved", "Same")
What is my issue?

You just need to remove the 2nd '=' sign.
=IF([Construction Complete]@row > [Last Weeks Cx date]@row, "Date Slide", IF([Construction Complete]@row < [Last Weeks Cx date]@row, "Improved", "Same"))
