#UNPARSEABLE with multiple IF statements
Hi,
I am trying to create TEXT depending on some conditional information.
I want to display text RED if my materials clear date is less than 7 days from my due and display text YELLOW if my materials clear date is less than 14 days (but greater than 7 days) and if my materials clear date is greater than 15 days, leave the cell blank.
Here is the formula I came up with -
=IF([Original Promised Ship Date]@row +7 < [Materials Clear]@row, “RED”, IF([Original Promised Ship Date]@row +14 < [Materials Clear]@row, “YELLOW”, IF([Original Promised Ship Date]@row +15 < [Materials Clear]@row, “”)))
What am I missing here?

Hi @Steve Burks
I hope you're well and safe!
At a glance, you have slanted "". I'm guessing you probably wrote the formula in Word or similar, correct?
Try something like this.
=IF([Original Promised Ship Date]@row +7 < [Materials Clear]@row, "RED",
IF([Original Promised Ship Date]@row +14 < [Materials Clear]@row, "YELLOW",
IF([Original Promised Ship Date]@row +15 < [Materials Clear]@row, "")))
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Hi Andree,
Yes and no. Thank you for pointing this issue out with the quote sign.
It did not work as expected, but that was because my logic was backward. I used + days instead of - days. Here is the corrected version -
=IF([Original Promised Ship Date]@row - 7 < [Materials Clear]@row, "RED",
IF([Original Promised Ship Date]@row - 14 < [Materials Clear]@row, "YELLOW",
IF([Original Promised Ship Date]@row - 15 < [Materials Clear]@row, "")))
Yes, I did use Word. Is there a setting in Word to use the correct quote symbol? I only ask because it is much easier to review in Word instead of the actual sheet. I am open to another suggestion as well.
