Hi there!


I am organizing seating arrangements for a gala. Each table number I assign to a group corresponds with the floor their table will be located on e.g. (Table 1-19 = Floor One, table 2-29 = Floor 2, etc.)


Right now, I am entering the table numbers for each group in a Number field and want to create a Formula field that automatically outputs what the corresponding floor is. (e.g. If their table number is “43” then the formula outputs “Floor 4”). I am doing this so I can group the view by the Floor # formula output.


Is a combination of Nested IF & AND statements the way to go? Here is the code I tried (it doesn’t work because it only returns “true/false” or “Floor One”). Open to any suggestions and thanks for the help!


 IF(

      {Table Number} > 0, AND({Table Number} < 20),

       "Floor One", 

       IF(

            {Table Number} => 20, AND({Table Number} < 30),

            "Floor 2"

             )

           )

For anyones reference, here is the solution:


IF(AND({Table Number} > 0, {Table Number} <20), “Floor 1”,

IF(AND({Table Number} >= 20, {Table Number} <30), “Floor 2”,

IF(AND({Table Number} >= 20, {Table Number} <40), “Floor 3”,

IF(AND({Table Number} >= 40, {Table Number} <50), “Floor 4”,

IF({Table Number}= “”, “Unassigned to table”

)))))

It’s a lot simpler using just the first character: IF(Table, 'Floor '& LEFT(Table,1), 'Unassigned to table').

It’s a lot simpler using just the first character: IF(Table, 'Floor '& LEFT(Table,1), 'Unassigned to table').


@Elias_Gomez_Sainz - that won’t work for tables 2-9 (on floor 1) :winking_face:


Although, for consistency, it would make sense to have Floor 1 have tables 10-19, Floor 2 have tables 20-29 and so on, in which case it works. It isn’t clear from the original post how many tables there are or might be on Floor 1.

Of yes, I oversimplified in my head 😸 . In fact, all is a +1. And recreating the Formula I realized that rounding is our friend 💪 


IF(

	Table,

	'Floor ' &

	ROUNDUP(

		Table/10,

		0

	),

	'Unassigned to table'

)
