Re: Nested IF Statement to Populate Field

What I'm trying to say (but doing it poorly) is:
  • if the first condition is meet, then enter "Yes" in the field,
    • If not look at today's date,
      • If today's date < the Due Date or if the Due Date IsNull enter "No"

I hope this makes more since.

      Yay for airplane Wifi,
      Try this

      If(
      [Proposal Received 2B Alight]<=[PWO Proposal Due Date],"Yes",

      Today()<[PWO Proposal Due Date] and IsNull([Proposal Received 2B Alight]) ,"Yes","No")


      // I'm not sure what order you want the tests as Quick Base will keep processing until it hits the first true result.  So you might need to flip the test sequence.

      Note that with Quick Base IF formulas it is rare that you need to nest your IFs.  YOU typically, open with the IF and then stack the tests vertically for readability.
