Nested IF/AND Statement
I got stucked writing Nested IF/AND statement. Below is the statement I wrote in Excel, ref!A1 is the date 8/31/2018 =IF(V2>ref!$A$1,"Future",IF(AND(V2<=ref!$A$1, X2=0),"Late",IF(AND(V2<=ref...

The reason your formula is not working is that AND accepts only 2 arguments!
I personally prefer MFelix's SWITCH approach using && easier to ready (for me at least)
But you could try this...
Column =
IF (
Data[BL Date] > DATE ( 2018, 8, 31 )
= "Future",
IF (
AND ( Data[BL Date] <= DATE ( 2018, 8, 31 ), Data[Actual Date] <> 0 ),
"Late",
IF (
AND ( AND ( Data[BL Date] <> 0, Data[Actual Date] <> 0 ), Data[Variance] <= 0 ),
"On-Time",
"Late"
)
)
)StuznetLet me know if this actually works! :smileyhappy:
EDIT: MFelix I believe you need to add this condition...
nested if = IF ( Data[BL Date] > DATE ( 2018, 8, 31 ), "Future", IF ( Data[BL Date] <= DATE ( 2018, 8, 31 ) && Data[Actual Date] <> 0, "Late", IF ( Data[BL Date] <> 0 && Data[Actual Date] <> 0 && Data[Variance] <= 0, "On-Time", "Late" ) ) )And...
SWITCH FORMULA = SWITCH ( TRUE (), Data[BL Date] > DATE ( 2018, 8, 31 ), "Future", Data[BL Date] <= DATE ( 2018, 8, 31 ) && Data[Actual Date] <> 0, "Late", Data[BL Date] <> 0 && Data[Actual Date] <> 0 && Data[Variance] <= 0, "On-Time", "Late" ) - 7 years ago
Thank you so much for your help but the correct formula I'm looking is this. Now the result are matching.
SpoilerSWITCH FORMULA =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
Data[BL Date] > DATE ( 2018, 8, 31 ), "Future",
Data[BL Date] <= DATE ( 2018, 8, 31 )
&& ISBLANK(Data[Actual Date]) , "Late",
Data[BL Date] <= DATE ( 2018, 8, 31 )
&& ISBLANK(Data[Actual Date]) = FALSE()
&& Data[Variance] <= 0, "On-Time",
"Late"
)

Hi Sean,
You are absolutly correct about the AND I was only looking at the final result and prefer the && so never look at the number of arguments, however I prefer the SWITCH instead of the nested if as I show on the second measure.

I prefer SWITCH as well as it is easier to read and less opening and closing parentheses to keep track of.
SWITCH is internally converted into nested IFs anyway :smileyhappy:
BTW I see you added the <>0 above :smileywink:
- MFelix7 years agoSuper UserYes thank you for pointing it out.
Hopefully one of our answers will help.
