Translate Cell value to a specific number

Hello,

My Master sheet has one column called "Portfolio,". Each cell in that column *may* contain multiple values - up to5choices (as shown below)

I'd like a new column that would convert those "names" to a specified number (ie. 1,2,3,4,5)

for example (using below as an example), it would translate to....

1

1,2,3,4,5

1,2,3

1,2,3,4,5

1,3

Do I need to do this using a report, or help column?

thanks, tons in advance,

Hi @Hobo<\/a> ,<\/p>


<\/p>

You can use this formula. The formula will count rows where priority is high and status is not completed.<\/p>

If you wanted to build a nested IF statement, you would add RYG ball Symbol column and use a formula something like this:<\/p>

=IF(AND(TODAY() > [Knowledge\/SJT\/MCQ\/Skills Test Date & Time]@row, ISBLANK([Knowledge Test Result]@row)), \"Red\", IF(AND(TODAY() > [Project \/ Showcase Portfolio]@row, ISBLANK([Project \/ Showcase Portfolio Results]@row)), \"Red\", \"Green\"))<\/p>

You could keep building this out to evaluate all of your date \/ result fields, but you could run into issues where a date is not yet entered.<\/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":112223,"type":"question","name":"How to pull the most recent status symbol from another sheet?","excerpt":"Hello, I am trying to pull the most recent status symbol based off of the most recent date to another sheet.
