I’ve tried copying and adapting examples from this forum (many thanks all to those who contribute!) and I’ve tried writing formulas from scratch… nothing seems to work!


I’m using a very simple base to record my daily step count. I have a field called “Steps” and I want to include a quick visual indication of what my step count is for the day (actually, I’ll be using icons, but it’s simpler to include words in my example).


IF(

{Steps}>19999,

“Yay”,

IF(

{Steps}>9999,

“OK”,

IF(

{Steps}>1,

“No comment”

)

)

)

Hi @Greg_Gillet1, I believe this might work


IF(Steps>19999,“Yay”,IF(Steps>9999,“OK”,“No Comment”))


Thanks, Nathalie. Looks like it should work, but I’m still getting: “Sorry, there was a problem saving this field. Invalid formula. Please check your formula text.”

That’s unfortunate as this should work. My memory isn’t the greatest these days, but I vaguely remember something about the quotations and how it is different in various parts of the world.


Try this (no guarantees) --> IF(Steps>19999,‘Yay’,IF(Steps>9999,‘OK’,‘No Comment’))


Here’s a sample base with the formula. Maybe it will shed some light.


Nathalie - thank you SO much! Copying your formula from the forum still didn’t work, but copying your base and THEN copying the formula out of the field into mine DID work.


I wonder if it was something to do with having some (not so) smart quotation marks?


Anyway, I will watch out for this in future.
