You don't provide any details, so it's impossible to know what causes the problem.

One possible issue: if you use point as decimal separator, use commas to separate the arguments of the function:

=IF(A1>37, "Yes", "No")

But if you use comma as decimal separator, you should use semicolons to separate the arguments:

=IF(A1>37; "Yes"; "No")

Dear Hans Vogelaar.

I don't have any decimal separators, since tha field format is time: ( 00:00:00 )

 

Kind regards.

@mk-mako 

How do you write two-and-a-half? As 2.5 (point is decimal separator) or as 2,5 (comma is decimal separator)?

@HansVogelaar 

 

I write 2:30

 

But as you mentioned before, I changed , with ; and the formula was accepted.

 

So thank you.
