If and when..

The thought process is a have a column with Multiple drop downs. If Service is selcted I would like it to take the date column and add a six month date for followup. The formula I was thinking is:

=IF([What work type was completed?]@row, ="service", Date@row + 180, blank)

However, I must be missing something. UNPARSEABLE lol🤔

Apologies @alindberg ! I left in an errant comma. Andrée’s formula should work.

Ah, I’m that case try:

=IF(HAS([What work type was completed?]@row, "service"), Date@row + 180, " ")

Try this! Just a simple change to make blank work.

=IF([What work type was completed?]@row, ="service", Date@row + 180, "")

=IF([What work type was completed?]@row, ="service", Date@row + 180, " ")

I changed it to the above now it says #INCORRECT ARGUMENT.

Could it be because my "what work type was complete" is a drop down with potentially multiple selections

Hi @alindberg

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF([What work type was completed?]@row ="service", Date@row + 180, " ")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Easy to miss!

Ok Perfect it Worked! However, One glitch I noticed. The What work type was completed column has a drop down with multiple selections. If service is selected by itself it works, however if it is part of multiple selections it doesn't work. Thank you so much for this so far.
