Nested IF Function using Harvey Balls
Hi SS Community,
I have the following nested IF column formula . The formula works properly through the "Red" part, but once I attempt to type DECLINED in the "Revised Final Date" column, the formula returns #invalidoperation. What can I change in my formula to show a Gray Harvey ball when I type DECLINED in the "Revised Final Date" column? Picture posted below.
Thank you,

Deric ✭✭✭✭Your terms were out of order: with nested ifs, it is important to go from most to least restrictive - its hard to see here because you are using dates and text as tests.
Clean version:
=IF([Revised Final Date]@row = "", "Yellow", IF([Revised Final Date]@row = "Declined", "Gray", IF([Revised Final Date]@row >= TODAY(), "Green", "Red")))
Less work:
=IFERROR(IF([Revised Final Date]@row >= TODAY(), "Green", IF(ISBLANK([Revised Final Date]@row), "Yellow", IF([Revised Final Date]@row < TODAY(), "Red"))), "Gray")

Try this:<\/p>
=IF(ISDATE([Event Date]@row), IF(AND([Event Date]@row > TODAY(), [Event Date]@row <= TODAY(30)), \"Less than 30 days from today\", \"More than 30 days from today\"), \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/105084/\")<\/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":[]},{"discussionID":108267,"type":"question","name":"Combining IF Formula for Blank\/ Not Blank Cells","excerpt":"I want to create a formula that provides the below statuses: -Complete: Based on \"Collected Date\" not null -Incomplete: Based on \"Collected Date\" null and \"Antcipated Collected Date\" null -Pending: Based on \"Anticipated Collcted Date\" not null and \"Collected Date\" null Below is what I have, but it's unparseable:…","snippet":"I want to create a formula that provides the below statuses: -Complete: Based on \"Collected Date\" not null -Incomplete: Based on \"Collected Date\" null and \"Antcipated Collected…","categoryID":322,"dateInserted":"2023-07-28T17:23:40+00:00","dateUpdated":null,"dateLastComment":"2023-07-28T18:28:47+00:00","insertUserID":164288,"insertUser":{"userID":164288,"name":"brownrobe","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/brownrobe","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-07-28T18:42:06+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"updateUserID":null,"lastUserID":164288,"lastUser":{"userID":164288,"name":"brownrobe","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/brownrobe","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-07-28T18:42:06+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":2,"countViews":44,"score":null,"hot":3381135147,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108267\/combining-if-formula-for-blank-not-blank-cells","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108267\/combining-if-formula-for-blank-not-blank-cells","format":"Rich","lastPost":{"discussionID":108267,"commentID":387885,"name":"Re: Combining IF Formula for Blank\/ Not Blank Cells","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/387885#Comment_387885","dateInserted":"2023-07-28T18:28:47+00:00","insertUserID":164288,"insertUser":{"userID":164288,"name":"brownrobe","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/brownrobe","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-07-28T18:42:06+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"}},"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/"},{"name":"Get Help","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/get-help"},{"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-07-28T18:30:11+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-07-28T18:22:11+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":387882,"body":"
