If formula

I am trying to use below formula but it is showing error as Invalid Operation. How to use 'less than equal to' function in 'IF' formula:

=IF([a%]@row > "5%", "Red", IF(AND([a%]@row < = "5%", [c%]@row >= "5%"), "Yellow", "Green")

    Hi @Kamya Pamnani

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Try something like this.

    =IF([a%]@row > 0.05, "Red", IF(AND([a%]@row < = 0.05, [c%]@row >= 0.05), "Yellow", "Green")

    Smartsheet looks at the numbers in a column formatted for percentages as values between 0 and 1. You'd need to use decimal values instead for it to work 

    25% = 0,25 (0.25)

    50% = 0,5 (0.5)

    100% = 1

    Did that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,

    Hi Andree,


    Thanks for sending the answer but the same doesn't work either. Whenever I am using the formula with only"<" it works but it doesn't work for "<=" function.

    Please suggest any other alternative.

    Thanks.

    Try this.

    =IF([a%]@row > 0.05, "Red", IF(AND([a%]@row <= 0.05, [c%]@row >= 0.05), "Yellow", "Green"))
