Is there a limit to the length of If/And Statements?
I have the following statement and it works for the bold section but when I add the italic section I receive an 'UNPARSABLE' error. Thoughts?
=IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"), [Column2]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"), [Column3]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"), [Column4]2,IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"), [Column5]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"), [Column2]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"), [Column3]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"), [Column4]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"), [Column5]3,IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = “<25”),[Column2]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = “26-50”),[Column3]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = “51-100”),[Column4]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = “>100”), [Column5]4))))))))))))
I have 2 more statement sections I would like to add if possible.
IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = “<25”),[Column2]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = “26-50”),[Column3]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = “51-100”),[Column4]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = “>100”),[Column5]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = “<25”),[Column2]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = “26-50”),[Column3]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = “51-100”),[Column4]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = “>100”),[Column5]6

Andrée Starå ✭✭✭✭✭✭Hi John,
If I remember correctly, the limit is 4000 characters.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!

Thank you for the quick response but the character count above is 973 with spaces. I can't figure out what is wrong if anything.

Happy to help!
Could you maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too,[email protected])

I think I found the error. You had a few characters that were wrong.
“” and I replaced them with ".
Try this.
=IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"), [Column2]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"), [Column3]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"), [Column4]2,IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "<100", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"), [Column5]2, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"), [Column2]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"), [Column3]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"), [Column4]3, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "101-250", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"), [Column5]3,IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"),[Column2]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"),[Column3]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"),[Column4]4, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "251-500", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"), [Column5]4))))))))))))
I have 2 more statement sections I would like to add if possible.
IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"),[Column2]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"),[Column3]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"),[Column4]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "500-1,000", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"),[Column5]5, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = "<25"),[Column2]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = "26-50"),[Column3]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = "51-100"),[Column4]6, IF(AND([From Calculator]2 = "1,001-2,500", [From Calculator]4 = ">100"),[Column5]6
Did it work?

Mike Wilday ✭✭✭✭✭✭Yes, the issue was that somewhere down the line Smart Quotes were inserted instead of straight quotes. Always compose your formulas in a basic text editor. Word and Google Docs adds a different quote to your formulas which break smartseheet.

This worked! Thank you very much. I was writing the statement in Word and didn't realize it was converting the style/angle of those double quotes.
Thanks!
