Can I use a formula in an If Statement?

I would like to insert a formula based on the selection "YES or NO" from another field. When trying this similar to other if statements i am receiving #UNPARSEABLE error.

=IF([Mgmt Cost Needed]@row = “YES”, “=[SubTotal]@row * 0.1”, IF([Mgmt Cost Needed]@row = “NO”, “0”))

I know i could probably achieve this through an automated workflow but ideally this should work. Any suggestions

Hi @GILLL023

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF([Mgmt Cost Needed]@row = "YES", [SubTotal]@row * 0.1, IF([Mgmt Cost Needed]@row ="NO", 0)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Excellent!

Thanks for the kind words, and you're more than welcome!

FYI - There were a couple of issues, but one of the main issues was the slanted "", and I'm guessing that you wrote the formula in Word or similar.
