Not sure why I cant get this to work? TIA for any guidance!

Need assist on another formula:

=IF(CONTAINS(Tier@row, 3), "ME", IF([Independent Reviewer]@row = "ME"), "AH", IF(CONTAINS(Tier@row, 4), "SM", IF([28. Assurance Project PIC]@row = "SM"), "JL"))

I am getting an error: "#CIRCULAR REFERENCE". 

Again, any help is greatly appreciated!

    What column are you putting this in? Circular reference means you are using the cell that the formula is posted in, or you are using a cell that another cell is using to sort the formula. Please post a screenshot with a follow up if that isn't what the problem is.

  • Here is a snip:

    I am writing this in the "Independent Reviewer" column. If "Tier" is "3", want to return "ME", if #28 is "ME", then return "AH".

    If "Tier" is "4", want to return "SM", if #28 is "SM", then return "JL".

    Also, if "Tier" is "NA", want to leave blank.

    Thanks for any help!
