    leecoogan Try using this formula: 

     

    =IF([PESTLE]="Political","High",IF(OR([PESTLE]="Economic",[PESTLE]="Sociological",[PESTLE]="Technological"),"Medium",IF(OR([PESTLE]="Legal",[PESTLE]="Enviromental"),"Low","")))

leecoogan the logic of the formula is wrong; you are using AND so you are currently basically saying in the formula "IF Pestle equals Economic AND Pestle equals Sociological AND Pestle equals Technological AND Pestle equals Legal which I assume it never can" Assuming the PESTLE column will only have 1 value you can simplify the formula to the following:

=IF(PESTLE="Political", "High", IF(OR(PESTLE="Economic", PESTLE="Sociological", PESTLE="Technological"), "Medium", "Low"))
