Need help combining IF, AND/OR formulas

Options

Hey yall! I am trying to write a formula that will read the 'Check In' column and "Last Wk Check In' column and check the '2 Wk - No Check In' flag if the following cases occur:

  • If both columns read 'No Check In' (that flag is currently working as can be seen in the screenshot below)
  • If the columns both read "No Data', I would like the '2 Wks - No Data' AND "2 Wks - No Check In' to be flagged
  • If there is a combination of 'No Data' and 'No Check In' (ex student - Antonio James), I would like '2 Wks - No Check In' to be flagged but NOT '2 Wks - No Data' to be flagged

    2 Weeks - No Data is simple as you are only checking for one case based on your description

    =IF( AND([CHECK IN] = "No Data",[Last Wk Check In] = "No Data"), 1, 0)

    2 Weeks - No Check in

    =IF( AND([CHECK IN] = "No Check In",[Last Wk Check In] = "No Check In"), 1, IF( AND([CHECK IN] = "No Data",[Last Wk Check In] = "No Data"), 1, IF(OR(AND([CHECK IN] = "No Data",[Last Wk Check In] = "No Check In"),AND([CHECK IN] = "No Check In",[Last Wk Check In] = "No Data"), 1, 0)))

    Not sure what I am doing wrong but I keep getting an 'Incorrect Argument Set' error when I put in the formula. Below are some screenshots to show the error, thanks for your help!

    Your 2nd IF(AND( doesn't have an end parenthesis in it:

    I circled the area for you. I'm not sure but you also may need to have more than 1 end parenthesis in this spot. Actually I'm pretty sure you do:

    It's easy to tell if you pay attention to the tooltip info while you click around in different positions of your formula.
