Hi there!

If I understand correctly, you’ll want to write a formula like this…

IF({Spill} = "Tættest Pinden", 
     Formula1,
     Formula2
)

You’ll need to replace Formula1 and Formula2 with the formulas you want. Happy to help further if you need!

Hi and thanks for your reply. But i still have problem.
Can you help me with this formular:
IF({Spill} = “Tættest Pinden”,
AND({Spiller 2}>{Spiller 1},{Spiller 2}>{Spiller 3},{Spiller 2}>{Spiller 4},{Spiller 2}>{Spiller 5},{Spiller 2}>{Spiller 6},“1”,“0”),
AND({Spiller 1}<{Spiller 2},{Spiller 1}<{Spiller 3},{Spiller 1}<{Spiller 4},{Spiller 1}<{Spiller 5},{Spiller 1}<{Spiller 6},“2”,“4”)
)

Hi there! So sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you. I oddly did not get a notification that you had replied! I made a few corrections to the syntax of your formula… the following will only show a result if {Spill} = “Tættest Pinden”:

IF({Spill} = “Tættest Pinden”,
    IF(
        AND(
            {Spiller 2} > {Spiller 1},
            {Spiller 2} > {Spiller 3},
            {Spiller 2} > {Spiller 4},
            {Spiller 2} > {Spiller 5},
            {Spiller 2} > {Spiller 6}),
        “1”,
    “0”,
    IF(
        AND(
            {Spiller 1} < {Spiller 2},
            {Spiller 1} < {Spiller 3},
            {Spiller 1} < {Spiller 4},
            {Spiller 1} < {Spiller 5},
            {Spiller 1} < {Spiller 6}),
        “2”,
    “4”)
    )
)

I think your syntax is a little off. The way I read Martin’s setup, the first AND collection should be checked if {Spill} contains “Tættest Pinden”. If not, it should check the second AND collection. In your version the first IF never closes before the second one begins, so the second IF function will never be checked. I think this is what it should be:

IF(
    {Spill} = "Tættest Pinden",
    IF(
        AND(
            {Spiller 2} > {Spiller 1},
            {Spiller 2} > {Spiller 3},
            {Spiller 2} > {Spiller 4},
            {Spiller 2} > {Spiller 5},
            {Spiller 2} > {Spiller 6}
        ),
        "1",
        "0"
    ),
    IF(
        AND(
            {Spiller 1} < {Spiller 2},
            {Spiller 1} < {Spiller 3},
            {Spiller 1} < {Spiller 4},
            {Spiller 1} < {Spiller 5},
            {Spiller 1} < {Spiller 6}
        ),
        "2",
        "4"
    )
)

WOOOW i just found out that it was the " sign that was transformed to “ so now it could save the fomula… I will test it right away. Thanks again

You are so right. But I can not get it to work anyway. I get 4 no matter what numbers I put in.

Oops! Fixed the quotes above. Not sure why it’s not working. Will test locally if I can, but I might not have time until later.

okay. Can you send the new with the right Quotes, please.
