    If nested statement issues

    It worked before and now my entire table is broken cause it is dependent on the outcome of this formula.

    So I have many sheets with the formula below, however each one is unique with its own cell value. The information
    it pulls from sheet 1 "Table of Contents" is a drop down list, data validation, with values: low, medium, high. The
    formula works EXCEPT when the cell value is High. I have also tried switching the first statement to medium and it
    works. It just seems to overlook high.

    =IF('Table of Contents'!$B$4="high",0.5,IF('Table of Contents'!$B$4="medium",0.2,0))

    Thanks in advance

    Re: If nested statement issues

    Can you attach a workbook please?
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    It's almost impossible to debug, then. Check your formula points at the correct cell, and that no errant spaces or punctuation have been introduced. Start a fresh formula which simply checks the value of your data validation list entry.

    OK, I started fresh in a new workbook. Problem was with data validation. The referenced data had a space on the end of High. So much time wasted on a space.

    Re: If nested statement issues

    Is it an issue with case sensitivtiy - you have High in your post but high in the formula? maybe:
    =IF(UPPER('Table of Contents'!$B$4)="HIGH",0.5,IF(UPPER('Table of Contents'!$B$4)="MEDIUM",0.2,0))

    I tried playing around with the case sensitivity. No matter what medium is picked up and high is not.
