Using IF formula to set conditions for RYGB ball color

Hi there!

I have been trying to set conditions with a formula to change the color of a RYGB ball based on two columns, the percent complete and the due date. I wish to use the RYGB balls and not just change the color of the cell, which is why I'm using formulas instead of the conditional formatting. I keep receiving the UNPARSEABLE error. 

Below is my current formula. Not sure if I have my status circle column setup incorrectly, or if there's a flaw in my formula. Tips on what I might be missing would be appreciated! 

=IF([Percent Complete]6 < 100 AND(TODAY()>DATEONLY([Due Date]6)), "Red", IF([Percent Complete]6 < 85 AND(TODAY(-14)=DATEONLY([Due Date]6)), "Yellow", IF([Percent Complete]6=100, "Blue", IF([Percent Complete]6=100 AND(TODAY()=DATEONLY([Due Date]6)), "Green", IF(TODAY(14)<DATEONLY([Due Date]6)), "Green"))))

*Percent Complete and Due Date are columns with general number formatting and MM/DD/YY formatting, respectively. I am working on row 6, hence the [Column Name]6 notation.

    Update: I think it might be something flawed in my Date conditionals because the Percent complete conditions work fine on their own.

    the issue is in the syntax of AND function. Here is a corrected formula:



    =IF(AND([Percent Complete]@row < 100, (TODAY() > DATEONLY([Due Date]@row))), "Red", IF(AND([Percent Complete]@row < 85, (TODAY(-14) = DATEONLY([Due Date]@row))), "Yellow", IF([Percent Complete]@row = 100, "Blue", IF(AND([Percent Complete]@row = 100, (TODAY() = DATEONLY([Due Date]@row))), "Green", IF(TODAY(14) < DATEONLY([Due Date]@row)), "Green"))))

    BTW, I replaced @6 by @row, so the formula can be easily copy/pasted into other rows.

    I hope, it helps!

    Regards,

    This fixed it, thank you!

    For anyone referencing this in the future, I also fixed the formula details so the output was fully correct and consistent: 

    =IF([Percent Complete]@row = 100, "Blue", IF(AND([Percent Complete]@row < 100, (([Due Date]@row) < TODAY())), "Red", IF(AND([Percent Complete]@row < 100, (([Due Date]@row) <= TODAY(14))), "Yellow", IF(AND([Percent Complete]@row < 100, (([Due Date]@row) > TODAY(14))), "Green"))))
