List with calculated column based on data in row?
Hi,
So I have a SharePoint list which has:
A product column with lets say 5 different products, so 5 different rows.
Then two columns which are for August and July (I have all the months but trying to keep it simple) and these have manually input numbers in.
And then I have a calculated column
I want the calculated column to do the calculation ([AUG-JUL])/30. However I only want it to do this calculation for products 1-3, For products 4-5 I want it to do the calculation ([AUG-JUL])/45. Is this even possible to do in a sharepoint list? I've been trying to play around with it but keep getting syntax error.
Any input is much appreciated.
Thanks
Tom898 Try using calculated column formula like:
=IF(OR([Product]="Product 1",[Product]="Product 2",[Product]="Product 3"),([AUG]-[JUL])/30,([AUG]-[JUL])/45)OR
=IF(OR([Product]="Product 1",[Product]="Product 2",[Product]="Product 3"),([AUG]-[JUL])/30,IF(OR([Product]="Product 4",[Product]="Product 5"),([AUG]-[JUL])/45,""))Note:
- Sometimes comma( , ) does not work in formula (it is based on language or regional settings of your SharePoint site). So in that case use semicolon( ; ) instead of comma( , ).
- Use correct display name of your SharePoint columns in above formula.
- Wrap column names inside [] if your column name has space in it. For example: [My Column Name].
