Help with Question on formula - getting unparsable - eyes are crossed

Hi, I took my formula which worked in excel and have tried to reproduce it in smartsheet and I am getting an unparsable, I am going cross-eyed trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Here is the formula if someone can help me figure it out. thank you - Amy


=IF(AND(ISTEXT(ExpirationDate1), Datefirst1 = "", Datesecond1 = ""), "N/A", IF(Datesecond1 <> "", Datesecond1 + 14), IF(Datefirst1 <> "", Datefirst1 + 14, DATE(YEAR(ExpirationDate1), MONTH(ExpirationDate1) - 1, DAY(ExpirationDate1)))))

    A couple of suggestions: first, I think there is an extra parenthesis (see below); second, I'd make sure there are no invalid dates in any of your columns.

    =IF(

    AND(ISTEXT(ExpirationDate1), Datefirst1 = "", Datesecond1 = ""),

    "N/A",

    IF(

    Datesecond1 <> "",

    Datesecond1 + 14),  <---------- Remove this parenthesis

    IF(

    Datefirst1 <> "",

    Datefirst1 + 14,

    DATE(YEAR(ExpirationDate1), MONTH(ExpirationDate1) - 1, DAY(ExpirationDate1)))))
