if([Ops Month], 'Jan', 'Revenue 56M of Goal 53M'),

if([Ops Month], 'Feb', 'Revenue 56M of Goal 53M'),

if([Ops Month], 'Mar', 'Revenue 56M of Goal 53M'),

Hi,

it's wrong the nesting

Try this:

( //useless parenthesis ?

if([Ops Month]= 'Jan', 'Revenue 56M of Goal 53M',

if([Ops Month]= 'Feb', 'Revenue 56M of Goal 53M',

if([Ops Month]= 'Mar', 'Revenue 56M of Goal 53M',

if([Ops Month]= 'Apr', 'Revenue 56M of Goal 53M',

'Other'))))

) //useless parenthesis?

Can you please explain the condition in words, as above syntax is not appropriate.

IF( Condition  , True, If( Condition , True) )

Hello and thank you for the reply.

I have a selection of month and based on the selection I want the script to pop up, so if they select Jan then i want the phrase 'Revenue 123M of Goal 123M' to be displayed

Also, I am not sure why are you using 4 IFs when you want to return the same value for all. I would suggest something like this -

If(Match([Ops Month], 'Jan', 'Feb','Mar','Apr'), 'Revenue 56M of Goal 53M', 'Other')

You will be able to achieve this in a single IF statement.

IF( Match(([Ops Month],  'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'), 'Revenue 123M of Goal 123M', 'Other')
