    Hi @Jezza

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Try something like this. (update columns names to yours)

    =IF(CheckA@row = 1, 10, IF(CheckB@row = 1, 20, IF(CheckC@row = 1, 30)))

    Did that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Hi,

    I'm trying to do something that seems very basic and yet SS keeps providing #parseable errors. I have 3 check box columns and want to return a result based on WHICH box is checked. I.E. if column 1 is checked = 10, if column 2 checked = 20, if column 3 checked = 30, etc etc.

    Only one column would ever be checked. Individually the formulas work (checking IF a box is checked) but combining them gives me an error every time.

    Can you not create nested formulas in SS such as: =OR( IF statement1, IF statement 2, ETC)

    This is the formula I am using that gives me the error:


    =OR((IF(A@row = 1, "20", "")),(IF(B@row=1,"35","")),(IF(C@row=1,"12,"")))

    Andrée,

    Thank you! This worked perfectly. I had assumed it would require an OR statement with multiple IFs but I guess not.

    Cheers!
