Hi! I’m trying to get a field to output one of 4 results based on what it finds contained in a single Formula Field (Date reformatted field to YYYY-MMMM, pulling from the MMMM portion).



If {Year/Month} is “Jan” or “Feb” or “Dec” or “Nov” = “WINTER”


If {Year/Month} is “Mar” or “Apr” or “May” = “SPRING”


If {Year/Month} is “Jun” or “Jul” or “Aug” = “SUMMER”


If {Year/Month} is “Oct” or “Sep” = “FALL”



This is what I tried but I’m getting an error. I managed to get it for one IF(OR) statement but am having trouble linking all four:



IF(


OR(


FIND(


‘Jan’, {Year/Month}


),


FIND(


‘Feb’, {Year/Month}


),


FIND(


‘Nov’, {Year/Month}


),


FIND(


‘Dec’, {Year/Month}


),


‘WINTER’,


IF(


OR(


FIND(


‘Mar’, {Year/Month}


),


FIND(


‘Apr’, {Year/Month}


),


FIND(


‘May’, {Year/Month}


),


‘SPRING’,


IF(


OR(


FIND(


‘Jun’, {Year/Month}


),


FIND(


‘Jul’, {Year/Month}


),


FIND(


‘Aug’, {Year/Month}


),


‘SUMMER’,


IF(


OR(


FIND(


‘Sep’, {Year/Month}


),


FIND(


‘Oct’, {Year/Month}


),


‘FALL’


),"")

I would use a Switch Function.



Switch (


{Year/Month}, Jan, “Winter”,


{Year/Month}, Feb, “Winter”,


Etc.


SWITCH worked. Also found this to work, in the end!



IF(OR(Month=“January”,Month=“February”,Month=“December”),“WINTER”,IF(OR(Month=“April”,Month=“March”,Month=“May”),“SPRING”, IF(OR(Month=“July”,Month=“August”,Month=“June”),“SUMMER”,“FALL”)))
