I'm trying to make this work but I keep getting errors. Help!I
IF([Document Needed]1, =BO, THEN [Date Initiated]1+30), IF ([Document Needed]1,=LOC, THEN [Date Initiated]1+10)
Thank you,
Kelly
=IF([Document Needed]1, ="BO", [Date Initiated]1+30), IF([Document Needed]1,="LOC", [Date Initiated]1+10))
Try that one. You needed to put your criteria in Quotes and remove the words "Then" from your formula. The comma functions as a THEN.
Thank you so much for the fast response. It still sends me an error message.
Maybe this screen shot will help?
Thanks,
What do you want the formula to give you if nothing is in that first box? Try this which will give you a blank cell. But you may want some due date there...
=IF([Document Needed]1, ="BO", [Date Initiated]1+30), IF([Document Needed]1,="LOC", [Date Initiated]1+10, ""))
Mike,
It looks like you may have fingered in an extra closing parenthesis between the two IF's
vs.
=IF([Document Needed]1, ="BO", [Date Initiated]1+30, IF([Document Needed]1,="LOC", [Date Initiated]1+10, ""))
Thank you both for the help. I think we are getting closer as now it says #incorrect argument set. I moved it down a line to a real data line in hopes that would clear up the blank cell question. Here is a screen shot now.
Hi,
You have comma signs after Document Needed2 that shouldn't be there.
Did that solve it?
Have a fantastic weekend!

No, that didn't help. That gave me a column error. Thank you for trying!
Yep. In both instances. Good catch. Removing those should clear things up.
Are both the Date Initiated column and the column you are typing the formula into formatted as date type columns?
Okay, I'm so confused now. This works -
=IF([Document Needed]2 = "BO", [Date Initiated]2 + 30)
and this works -
=IF([Document Needed]2 = "LOC", [Date Initiated]2 + 10)
But when I try to put them together, they don't -
=IF([Document Needed]2 = "LOC", [Date Initiated]2 + 10), ([Document Needed]2 = "BO", [Date Initiated]2 + 30))
You have an extra parenthesis and are missing an IF.
=IF([Document Needed]2 = "LOC", [Date Initiated]2 + 10, IF([Document Needed]2 = "BO", [Date Initiated]2 + 30))
Use this.
Yippy!! Thank you all for the help! Great chance for me to learn more.
Have a great weekend!
Happy to help!
