value format error in if statement

[rosscortb]

Hello,

What do I need to do to fix this format/value error please?

Column = IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] > 10,"Red",IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >=1 <= 2,"Red",IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >= 6 <=10,"Green",IF('Spans & Layers'[Grade] = "S1"||"S2"||"S3"||"S4","Black","Orange"))))

Thanks
Ross

Hi  @rosscortb ,

You can modify your dax like this:

Column = 
IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] > 10,"Red",
IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >=1 || 'Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] <= 2,"Red",
IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >= 6 || 'Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports]<= 10,"Green",
IF('Spans & Layers'[Grade] in {"S1","S2","S3","S4"},"Black","Orange"))))

Best Regards,

@Tahreem24 to be used in a conditional formating, and I need this formula due to the two columns

@rosscortb I tried formulate it as per my understanding. Try this out and let me know if it's giving you correct result or not. 

Column = IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] > 10,"Red",IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >=1 && 'Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] <= 2,"Red",IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >= 6 && 'Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] <=10,"Green",IF('Spans & Layers'[Grade] = in {"S1","S2","S3","S4"},"Black","Orange"))))

@Tahreem24 it had errors with <=  and then in.

So, changed to this but still has the value and format error as seen in my previous screenshot

Column = IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] > 10,"Red",IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >=1 <= 2,"Red",IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >= 6 <= 10,"Green",IF('Spans & Layers'[Grade] in {"S1","S2","S3","S4"},"Black","Orange"))))

@rosscortb little confused with your formula pattern. It's better if you could explain in a word or algorithm format.

@Tahreem24 

I think the formula is fine, its getting round this error.
