Invalid Operation when using Today() in nested IF STATEMENT
Here is the formula I am working with:
=IF(ISBLANK([Start Date]@row), " ", IF(ISBLANK([Actual Start Date]@row), "Not Started", IF(ISBLANK([Actual End Date]@row), "In Progress", IF([Actual End Date]@row > TODAY(), "In Progress", "Complete"))))
When I have dates entered for Start Date, Actual Start Date, and End Date the formula works. When I enter a date for Actual End Date I get invalid operation.
Please help!!

Here's a picture of the sheet I'm working with.

Double check that the actual end date column is set as a date type column.

@Paul Newcome The issue I ran into there is the status column with the RYG traffic lights won't calculate correctly if the dates are set as a date type column
-
In that case my suggestion would be to revisit the RYG formula (which I would also be happy to help with).
