Hi

I'm having an issue with a nested IF formula. This is the formula i'm trying to use

=IF(BI2=over_600,"0",IF(BI2=450_600,"1",IF(BI2=301_450,"2",IF(BI2=151_300,"3",IF(BI2=51_150,"4",IF(BI2=0_50,"5","0"))))))

There are 7 variables and their corresponding scores(): Blank Cells (0), over_600 (0), 450_600 (1), 301_450 (2), 151_300 (3), 51_150 (4), 0_50 (5).

Currently the column is set to General, if i change it to Number i have the same issue that Excel just gives me the error message - your formula is wrong.

The file is converted from a CSV data collection tool.

Thanks

Thank you! - knew there was something i was forgetting.

using "over_600" is needed when things are not exclusively numbers correct?

Thanks

Hi, you should also unquote the numbers "0","1", etc should be 0,1 else they will be returned as text and not numbers.

Code:
=IF(BI2="over_600",0,IF(BI2="450_600",1,IF(BI2="301_450",2,IF(BI2="151_300",3,IF(BI2="51_150",4,IF(BI2="0_50",5,0))))))

And an alternative.
Code:
=IFNA(MATCH(BI2,{"over_600","450_600","301_450","151_300","51_150","0_50"},0)-1,0)
