IF ISBLANK, 3 options

SMChou

Hi SmartSheet Community!

I am working on a formula to display closure status as "Late", "On time" and "Open". I want to show open if the "Actual Close Date" field is blank. If "Actual Close Date" is populated I need to compare against the "Expected Close Date" to determine if on time or late.

The following returns an error:

=IF(ISBLANK([Actual Close Date]@row, "Open", (IF((Status@row[Expected Close Date]@row > [Actual Close Date]@row, "Closed - On Time", "Closed - Late")

What updates do I need to make to ensure the closure status displays appropriately?

Hi @SMChou , you were on the right track!

Try this one...

=IF(ISBLANK([Actual Close Date]@row), "Open", IF([Expected Close Date]@row >= [Actual Close Date]@row, "Closed - On Time", "Closed - Late"))

This one assumes that if the Expected and Actual dates are equal then it closed on time.

Does that help?
