Hi All,


I am trying to go around this nested formula and hope someone could help me try understand why is not working.


I have three {columns} that indicate if a condition is either 1 or 0.


So:

column 1 can be 1 or 0

column 2 can be 1 or 0

column 3 can be 1or 0


I have a fourth formula column where I want to indicate the following:


IF column 1,2,3 are all 1 then show “status A”

IF column 1,2 are 1 and 3 is 0, then show “status B”,

IF column 1,2,3, are 0, then show " status C"


I have tried this formula but it wont go through:


IF(

OR(

FIND(“1”, {column1}

),

FIND(“1”, {column2}

),

FIND(“1”, {column3}

),

),

“status A”,

IF(

OR(

FIND(“1”, {column1}

),

FIND(“1”, {column2}

),

FIND(“0”, {column3}

),

),

“Status B”,

IF(

OR(

FIND(“0”, {column1}

),

FIND(“0”, {column2}

),

FIND(“0”, {column3}

),

),

“Status C”,

)


Thanks for whoever takes time to help out with this.

I thing I have solved it 😆


IF(A2=0,”STATUS B”,IF(AND(A2=0,A3=0),”STATUS A”,STATUS C”))


Sometimes you pursue a direction to find a solution and miss the easier way!


Leave here for reference 🙂


Really great community btw.

Welcome to the community, Gio! :grinning_face_with_big_eyes: Nice work on the solution! I’m a little confused why your field names don’t appear to match with the criteria you listed in your first post, but hey, you know your fields. :winking_face:


Just to toss this out there, this could also be done with the SWITCH function. It wouldn’t be any shorter, but maybe a hair more clear. Going from your initial criteria:



…and naming the fields {C1}, {C2}, and {C3}, it would look like this:


SWITCH(C1 & C2 & C3, "111", "Status A", "110", "Status B", "000", "Status C")

Thanks Justin, that is very helpful.


Hope to contribute more to this awesome community.
