Validation Formula

Going crazy.

My current formula

=IF(AND([Time Missed / Used (In Hours)]1 < 19.99),CONTAINS("Not", [Excused/Not Excused]1:[Excused/Not Excused]1, ".25", "1"))) = #UNPARSEABLE

The goal here is to return .25 or 1 into a cell "Totals" if cell "Time Missed / Used (In Hours)]" is less than 19.99 and cell "[Excused/Not Excused]". Default value of cell "Totals" = 0.

IF cell "[Excused/Not Excused]" contains "excused" THAN cell "Totals" =0

IF cell "[Excused/Not Excused]" contains "Not" and cell "[Time Missed / Used (In Hours)" GREATER than 19.99, Cell "Totals" = 1

IF cell "[Excused/Not Excused]" contains "Not" and cell "[Time Missed / Used (In Hours)" is GREATER 1 but less THAN 19.99, Cell "Totals" = .25

    Based on what I read in the post, I feel like maybe the CONTAINS functions should be using the @row reference instead of the column reference.


    =IF([Excused/Not Excused]@row = "Excused", 0, IF(AND([Time Missed / Used (In Hours)]@row > 19.99, CONTAINS("Not", [Excused/Not Excused]@row)), 1, IF(AND([Time Missed / Used (In Hours)]@row < 19.99, [Time Missed / Used (In Hours)]@row >= 1, CONTAINS("Not", [Excused/Not Excused]@row)), 0.25, 0)))


    I also agree that screenshots would be helpful though. If your [Excused/Not Excused] column contains either the option of "Excused" or "Not Excused", the above formula will never display anything other than 0 because "Not Excused" does contain the text of "Excused" which in turn causes the first IF to be true.

  • Thank you all! This helps tons I will let you know if this works!! This should close out my 2019 - 2020 Q1 goal!!!!

Greetings @brownrobe<\/a>,<\/p>

Here is a possible solution for your formula:<\/p>

=IF(NOT(ISBLANK([Recovery Collected Date]@row)), \"Complete\", IF(AND(ISBLANK([Recovery Collected Date]@row), ISBLANK([Anticipated Collection Date]@row)), \"Incomplete\", IF(AND(NOT(ISBLANK([Anticipated Collection Date]@row)), ISBLANK([Recovery Collected Date]@row)), \"Pending\", \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/comment/\")))<\/p>

Please confirm I have your column names correct and adjust as needed.<\/p>

I hope this helps, and have a great weekend.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&categoryID=322&includeChildCategories=1&type%5B0%5D=Question&excludeHiddenCategories=1&sort=-hot&limit=3&expand%5B0%5D=all&expand%5B1%5D=-body&expand%5B2%5D=insertUser&expand%5B3%5D=lastUser&status=accepted","prevURL":null,"currentPage":1,"total":10000,"limit":3},"title":"Trending in Formulas and Functions ","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
