I know this has been discussed before and I have read the questions and comments. Unfortunately I am stuck.

I have a multi select field that I am trying to extract information from.

The formula works fine in Excel

=IF(O2=“Individual”,15,IF(O2=“Family”,20,IF(O2=“Social”,10,IF(O2=“No Cost”,0,“0”))))


I have tried the following and none work:


=IF({Membership Test 2}=“Individual”,15,IF{Membership Test 2}=“Family”,20,IF{Membership Test 2}=“Social”,10,IF{Membership Test 2}="No Cost”,0,”0”))))


=IF({Membership Test 2}={Individual},15,IF{Membership Test 2}={Family”,20,IF{Membership Test 2}={Social},10,IF{Membership Test 2}={No Cost},0,”0”))))


=IF({Membership Test 2}=Individual,’15’,IF{Membership Test 2}=Family,’20’,IF{Membership Test 2}=Social,’10’,IF{Membership Test 2}=No Cost,’0’,0))))


Can anyone help? Thanks

Hi @Kathy_Weston - your original formula works fine for me (if you change the formatted quotes to not formatted):


IF(

  O2='Individual',

  15,

  IF(

    O2='Family',

    20,

    IF(

      O2='Social',

      10,

      IF(

        O2='No Cost',

        0,

        0

      )

    )

  )

)

Maybe where you’ve gone wrong with this is including the first “=” - unlike Excel, Airtable doesn’t need you to prefix a formula with “=”.


As an aside, I often use a SWITCH formula for these cases - a little bit easier to manage:


SWITCH(

  O2,

  'Individual', 15,

  'Family', 20,

  'Social', 10,

  'No Cost', 0

)

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you very much for your help. I love the “Switch” formula.

I am use to working in FileMaker Pro and Airtable doesn’t work quite the same.

Again, Thanks!
