Question

add a variable to a formula

I have a formula that displays a new volunteers' mentor on a schedule for staff - basically, if there is anything in the field {Mentor (from Link to Forms)}, show that, or else show * (to prevent the field from showing up (empty) on the schedule. Here’s that formula:

IF({Mentor (from Link to Forms)},{Mentor (from Link to Forms)}, "*")

What’s happening is that this information is pulling through many deployments later - when a Mentor is irrelevant.

I want to change the field so it is dependent on the Experience field - which I hope would make it go away when that field is NOT “This is my first deployment.”

So:

IF(({Experience (from Link to Forms)}, "This is my first deployment",), {Mentor (from Link to Forms)},{Mentor (from Link to Forms)}, "*")

 

But that is not doing it for me. What am I missing?

Thank you!

Please disregard this question - I was overthinking it. I’d like to delete it, but that doesn’t seem to be an option.

@MaddieJ if ​@lwetherby comment is correct you might then want to look into it!
