SP Online: Using Boolean in IF Statements
Good day. I'm having an issue with getting a boolean statement working in an IF statement.
Platform: SharePoint Online (Office 365 Business Premium)
List: Modern List
Issue:
I have a list that contains several Yes/No columns (defined as Y/N). Other columns have numbers and are defined as Number. I would like a new calculated column to show me the number from one column if Yes and the amount from a different column if No.
Eventually, I would like to make several tests, ie. If column 5 is Yes AND column 6 is No THEN use column 2 amount... But let's try to walk before we can run 🙂
Here is the formula that refuses to work (syntax error) :
=IF(ReportVF=TRUE, Previsionnel,0)
ReportVF is Yes/No Column
Previsionnel is a Number Column
I've tried with and without [] around column names. I've tried 1 instead of TRUE. I've tried "True". I've tried ; instead of , separators ... Nothing works 😢
Any help would be most welcome. It should be simple, but apparently it's not with SharePoint.
mcowen I doubt this will be possible with a default SharePoint form and calculated columns but will be do-able with a customised form with Power Apps. So that's where you should should concentrate your attention.

Hi RobElliott,
Thanks for your reply. Now I know where to concentrate and not waste time. Simple calculations work fine, just this IF problem didn't :(.
Ultimately the data will end up in PowerBI, so I guess I'll use DAX to achieve something similar.
