I need to string together many conditions

I have 8 conditions I need to string together, if all are met the formula should return "yes" if anything any condition is false, the formula should return "". I have tried nesting If/ and statements a number of ways, but since they all need to work together I am coming up #unparsable with each iteration.

=IF(AND([Contract Signed]@row="YES",AND([Amount Owed]@row<=0,AND([Term 2 Complete?]@row="YES",AND([1st Rental Hours]@row<>"",AND([2nd Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row="",AND([3rd Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row="",AND([4th Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row="",[5th Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row<>""))))))),”YES",””)

Hi @JGriffin

I haven't tested your formula yet, but I noticed that you have a mixture of different types of quotation marks:

,”YES",””)

See how some of them are curved: ”

And some are straight: "

Smartsheet will need only straight ones, like so: ,"YES", "")

I'd suggest double-checking all your quotes in the formula to make sure it's the correct type. If you type directly into a Smartsheet cell, it will create the right type of quote. Sometimes copy/pasting from another page (e.g. from a Notepad) can change the quotes to be curved, so you'll want to type them in directly.

Let me know if this resolved the issue!

Cheers,

Genevieve

You only need the first AND. It should look something like this:

=IF(AND([Contract Signed]@row="YES", [Amount Owed]@row<=0, [Term 2 Complete?]@row="YES", [1st Rental Hours]@row<>"", [2nd Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row="", [3rd Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row="", [4th Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row="", [5th Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row<>""),"YES", "")

That is how I started the formula, but I got the same #unparseable error

This looks to be working for me. All of my column types on the example sheet are text/number columns. Maybe yours aren't or maybe one or more are dropdown multi-select?

Formula:

=IF(AND([Contract Signed]@row = "YES", [Amount Owed]@row <= 0, [Term 2 Complete?]@row = "YES", [1st Rental Hours]@row <> "", [2nd Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row = "", [3rd Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row = "", [4th Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row = "", [5th Harvest Rent Hours Needed/Provided]@row <> ""), "YES", "")

Thank you all! You are awesome. The issue ended up being a format problem with my quotation marks.
