If statement based on date paired with Smartsheet Symbol

Michelle Tivis

I have a sheet that lists due dates in one column, and I was wondering if there is a way to use an If/then statement within the symbol column to indicate the following:

If the due date is within last 12 months, the symbol is green

If the due date is between last 12-18 months, the symbol is yellow

If the due date is longer than last 18 months, the symbol is red

Is this possible?

Hi @Michelle Tivis

You can absolutely do this, just need to nest a few IF( ) statements and utilize the Today( ) function with a negative number argument to get your ranges. Give this a shot:

=IF(ISBLANK([Due Date]@row), "", IF([Due Date]@row >= TODAY(-365), "Green", IF([Due Date]@row >= TODAY(-548), "Yellow", "Red")))

Unfortunately, I'm receiving an #UNPARSEABLE error message when trying to use the above recommended formula.

@Michelle Tivis Did you update the column names to match exactly what you have in your sheet? If so, a screenshot of the formula in the sheet (similar to the screenshot below) would be helpful with troubleshooting.
