Hello,

I am looking for a custom formula to help me solve the following.

Basically: If text in column A is true then add numbers in column B + 50 otherwise null.

If {inspection} contains "oil change" then add {engine hours} + 50.0 

The problem I have is finding the correct way to prevent all engine hours having 50 added to it so I can determine when the next oil change is due.

Would this be possible?

I'm not entirely sure what you're doing, but I used the following formula to get this result:

IF( FIND( "oil change", LOWER(Name) ), {Engine Hours} + 50, {Engine Hours} )

Having a problem accepting

LOWER(Name)

 What should "name" be?
