Hello,
I have a column named 2 Approval Package Current Projected Date. I am trying to return a text value based on that column compared to today's date. Here's what I'm looking for:
If 2 Approval Package Current Projected Date has already passed, the text should say RED
If 2 Approval Package Current Projected Date is in the next 10 days, the text should say YELLOW
If 2 Approval Package Current Projected Date is more than 10 days out, the text should say GREEN
This is the formula I wrote to achieve this, but I am getting #INVALID OPERATION. Can a kind soul please take mercy and assist?
=IF([2 Approval Package Current Projected Date]@row < TODAY(), "Red", IF([2 Approval Package Current Projected Date]@row - TODAY() < 10, "Yellow", "Green"))

Hmm. Is the date column setup as a date type column vs text/number?
You can also just try retyping the formula vs copying/paste which has been known to cause issues in some cases.

I typed it in manually rather than copy + pasting and that worked! Thank you so much for your help, Nic!
