Please Help: Errors with a Multipe "If" Statement Formula

Any help would be great! I am trying to write a formula that looks at a specific column for the item and dependent on the data in the column will then output a prefix + data from another column in the same item. I am getting errors on it and after doing searches and playing with it, I am still not doing something right.

IF({Quote Type}=“Existing INS User”, “L”+{Deal ID}, IF({Quote Type}=“New INS User”, “Q”+{Deal ID}, IF({Quote Type}=“Transfer”, “T”+{Deal ID})))

Hi Tina,

The problem is with your use of +. You can’t use it with strings of characters. Use & instead.

 


Want to take your formulas to the next level? Try the Advanced Formula Booster, the app that reinvents formulas in monday.

  • Create formulas without using the Formula column (and avoid its limitations)
  • Build formulas involving data from the previous item, the next item, the sub-items, the parent item, even items in the same group or the same board.
  • In one formula, update multiple columns from multiple items.

Thank you so much! That worked and the formulas are populating correctly.
