If/Then ISBLANK in SharePoint Online Calculated Column
I'm sure this is a common need, but I'm drawing a blank.
I am building a Calculated Column for which I need an if/then statement to check the "PermitActual" field and if it is blank, insert today's date. If that is not possible, then I need it to return the "Permit" field instead of today. While I prefer today's date be inserted where [Permit] is in the following, I can't even get this one to work with several tweaks, including ISBLANK. Thanks in advance!
=IF ([PermitActual]="",[Permit],[PermitActual])

The below formula saves as a pass/fail score even if the user left some of the questions unanswered (question choice column is blank). I would rather the FailPass column show as blank until all the necessary questions are answered, which would allow a user to return to a saved item and finish completing it if they were interrupted during the task, or filter on items in the list that are without a FailPass score.
How should I adjust this?
=IF(OR([Question 1?]="Inaccurate",[Question 2?]="Inaccurate",[Question 3?]="Inaccurate",[Question 4?]="Inaccurate",[Question 5?]="Inaccurate",[Question 6?]="Inaccurate",[Question 7?]="Inaccurate"),"Fail","Pass").
To further complicate this scenario, only certain questions need to be answered based on the type of review a user is completing. In total, this list has about 20 questions that vary based on the selection a user makes in a different choice column I've called "ReviewType". So I am concerned that a calculated field may not recognize when these question columns should indeed be blank based on review type. Should I create a calculated FailPass column for each review type?
Thanks in advance for your insight.CristinaMorales Try using formula like:
=IF(OR(ISBLANK([Question 1?]),ISBLANK([Question 2?]),ISBLANK([Question 3?]),ISBLANK([Question 4?]),ISBLANK([Question 5?]),ISBLANK([Question 6?]),ISBLANK([Question 7?])),"",IF(OR([Question 1?]="Inaccurate",[Question 2?]="Inaccurate",[Question 3?]="Inaccurate",[Question 4?]="Inaccurate",[Question 5?]="Inaccurate",[Question 6?]="Inaccurate",[Question 7?]="Inaccurate"),"Fail","Pass")Please click Mark as Best Response & Like if my post helped you to solve your issue.
