Morning. I'm trying (failing) to find the right syntax to return data using a nested IF, and then OR, AND
Requirements:
IF, Cell A = "Approved" OR "Authorized", and Cell B = Not blank, the formula should return "Reauth". If Cell B is Blank, Return nothing.

If Cell A is anything other than "Approved" or "Authorized the result should be nothing.

I feel like I'm making this more confusing than it should be...but pretty new to excel functions and trying to figure out the most eloquent way to get the result.

The Syntax I tried:
=IFS(AND(A2="Approved", ISBLANK(B2)), "", AND(J2="Authorized", ISBLANK(B2)), "")

Would appreciate any help figuring this out.
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
=IF(OR(A1="Approved",A1="Authorized")=FALSE,"",IF(AND(OR(A1="Approved",A1="Authorized"),B1<>""),"Reauth",IF(B1="","")))

Try this -

Excel Formula:
=IFS(AND(OR(A2="Approved",A2="Authorized"),ISBLANK(B2)),"",True,"Check")

Thanks. When I plug this in, it is returning the opposite of what I'd expect to see. It's working for anything where A1 is not approved, or authorized, but where B2 is not blank, it's the opposite.

Nevermind, I found my mistake when I copied over. This works beautifully. Thanks!
