Sharepoint list, Calculated Column, IF syntax error

[Dimitrij_P]

Hi all,
I have the following problem:
I have a SharePoint list with different columns.

Column 1 = single choice column with drop-down and values 1, 2, 3

Now I want to create a Column 2 = calculated column

The formula looks like this
=IF([Column 1] = 3; "OK"; "NOK")

After the confirmation, I get a message of a syntax error.
I don't know where the error should be, since the formula is quite simple.

Do you have a hint?

Thank you in advance,

best regards

Dimitrij

@Dimitrij_P it needs to be =if([Column 1]="3","OK","NOK")

Hi Rob,
thank you for your quick reply!

I've tried your solution, unfortunately, it doesn't help. Still get the syntax error.

It works perfectly for me, so what is the formula you have used?

The same you've posted:
=if([Column 1]="3","OK","NOK")

@Dimitrij_P are you sure? This is my list and the formula which gives exactly what you wanted:

Hello all just wanted to throw in my comments that I think sometimes the formula required a semicolon and sometimes it requires a comma, based on the default language of your environment. In my case the default environment was French and requires a semicolon. I believe other sites have other default languages, so their formulas required commas. This is really painful to troubleshoot and documentation seems pretty lacking in this regard from what I can tell.
