Re: How can I make my IF statement return the field as blank when my To-Do field is checked off while still preserving the rest of the IF date functions?

I want to be able to have different icons display depending on the due date.

So far I have this, and it’s working well:

IF({Due Date} = BLANK(), BLANK(), IF({Due Date} = TODAY(), “ :red_circle: ”,IF(IS_BEFORE({Due Date},TODAY()), “ :alarm_clock: ”,IF(DATETIME_DIFF({Due Date}, TODAY(), ‘days’) < 6, " :warning: ))))

I want to add the condition that if my “To-Do” field is checked (it’s a checkmark field), then nothing is displayed. I tried this for that command:

IF({Due Date} = BLANK(), BLANK(), IF({Due Date} = TODAY(), “ :red_circle: ”,IF(IS_BEFORE({Due Date},TODAY()), “ :alarm_clock: ”,IF(DATETIME_DIFF({Due Date}, TODAY(), ‘days’) < 6, “ :warning: ”,IF({To-Do} != BLANK(), BLANK())))))

It doesn’t return an error but it also doesn’t make the field blank when To-Do is checked.

Any suggestions?

Hi @Brenda_Carey - I think this will do it for you:

IF(
  AND({Due Date}, NOT({To-Do})), 
  IF(
    {Due Date} = TODAY(), 
    '🔴',
    IF(
      IS_BEFORE({Due Date},TODAY()), 
      '⏰',
      IF(
        DATETIME_DIFF({Due Date}, TODAY(), 'days') < 6, 
        '⚠️'
      )
    )
  )
)

The first part of the IF statement is saying “if there is a due date AND the to-do is not checked, then continue”
