Can I use a formula in an If Statement?
I would like to insert a formula based on the selection "YES or NO" from another field. When trying this similar to other if statements i am receiving #UNPARSEABLE error.
=IF([Mgmt Cost Needed]@row = “YES”, “=[SubTotal]@row * 0.1”, IF([Mgmt Cost Needed]@row = “NO”, “0”))
I know i could probably achieve this through an automated workflow but ideally this should work. Any suggestions

Hi @GILLL023
I hope you're well and safe!
Try something like this.
=IF([Mgmt Cost Needed]@row = "YES", [SubTotal]@row * 0.1, IF([Mgmt Cost Needed]@row ="NO", 0)
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

@Andrée Starå Thank you so much for the quick help, you are always such a great resource and appreciate your assistance! That solved the issue for me!

Excellent!
Thanks for the kind words, and you're more than welcome!
FYI - There were a couple of issues, but one of the main issues was the slanted "", and I'm guessing that you wrote the formula in Word or similar.
