Multiple IF ANDS criteria

jenniferrdz

Hello!

I'm trying to write a function for 3 criteria with if ands, "Approved", "Not Approved" and "Pending". Not sure im using if and correctly.

It's a document approval process which requires 5 individuals to review a document. I want the status of each document request to be shown per individual and then have the overall document status sjown.

For example

If Person A = approved, Person B= approved, Person C= approved, Person D= approved and Person E= approved then the overall status shown is "Approved".

If any of them "declined" the document then the overall status is shown as "Not approved"

If they haven't either approved or declined but its "submitted" then overall status should show "Pending".

I can't make the formula work for some reason.

• When all individuals approve i do get the "approved" status, however anything else is shown as "Pending",

=IF(AND([Person A]1 = "Approved", [Person B]1 = "Approved", [Person C]1 = "Approved", [Person D]1 = "Approved", [Person E]1 = "Approved"), "Approved", IF(AND([Person A]1 = "Declined", [Person B]1 = "Declined", [Person C]1 = "Declined", [Person D]1 = "Declined", [Person E]1 = "Declined"), "Not Approved", "Pending"))

Thank you!

Hey @jenniferrdz

Will this work for you?

=IF(AND([Person A]1 = "Approved", [Person B]1 = "Approved", [Person C]1 = "Approved", [Person D]1 = "Approved", [Person E]1 = "Approved"), "Approved", IF(OR([Person A]1 = "Declined", [Person B]1 = "Declined", [Person C]1 = "Declined", [Person D]1 = "Declined", [Person E]1 = "Declined"), "Not Approved", "Pending"))

If you don't need to specifically reference Row1 then change each reference row 1 to @cell (replace the 1 with @cell, example [Person A]@row) to make your formula more robust.
