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.

Hi @ewitt19205<\/a> <\/p>

Try removing the space between the quotes. You are counting all cells with 1 space in the cell. Blanks are counted with the quotes together.<\/p>

When counting blanks though, its also good to use a COUNTIFS and compare the blank off another column that always has a value. Like Countifs when the Project name is not blank (<>\"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/comment/\") and the Account Dashboard is blank (\"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/comment/\").<\/p>

I hope that helps.<\/p>

Thanks,<\/p>

The issue is with your arguments overall. Using the Score of 40 (as in your examples)...<\/p>


<\/p>

The score start range has to be 40 or greater, but the range end has to be less than or equal to 40.<\/p>


<\/p>

Try reversing it so that the start is less than the score and the end is greater than the score.<\/p>


<\/p>

Take a look at the second piece in your destination file. The formula is not throwing an error, but it is also not pulling the correct value in. It should be pulling in Moderate because 40 is between 35 and 54, but it is pulling in Moderate-High because that is the first entry where the Range Start is greater than 40.<\/p>"},{"commentID":387563,"body":"
