Hi guys



I’m trying to use the formula IF to return some values. This is my example:



I have 4 conditions, wich are the number of words that a text must have:





  • 500 words


  • 1000 words


  • 2000 words


  • 2500 words




And to each one I have a specific value





  • To 500 return 30


  • To 1000 return 45


  • To 2000 return 55


  • T0 2500 return 70




I tried to use the formula that I use in Google Sheets: =IF({number of words}=500;30;IF({number of words}=1000;45;IF({number of words}=2000;55)))



I tried to use this way but it returns error. How could I use this formula in my case?

The Airtable syntax is a little different, but they’re nearly identical.


IF({number of words}=500,30,IF({number of words}=1000,45,IF({number of words}=2000,55)))



Here’s that code refactored:


SWITCH(LEN({words}),500,30,1000,45,2000,55)


Thanks, Zollie.



It worked! 🙂
