Formula checkbox not working for more than one parameter

I have a formula checkbox that doesn't seem to work when adding more than one condition. I want it to be true when a duration field is less than 30 days and another multi-select text contains "In-Person".

My formula is:

If([Duration-Delivered - Created]<Days(30)
& Contains([All Session Modalities Next Session Date NOT CANCELLED or DOWNSIZED],"In-Person"), 
true)

The first one by itself works fine, If([Duration-Delivered - Created]<Days(30), true). However, when I add the second part the < highlights yellow and says the less than sign cannot be applied on types duration, text.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

    From a quick glance you're using & instead of 'and'. 'and' syntax is how Quickbase will combine conditions, where as & is how you combine text values. Same thing goes for 'or'. If you update your formula as follows you should be good.

    If([Duration-Delivered - Created]<Days(30)
    and Contains([All Session Modalities Next Session Date NOT CANCELLED or DOWNSIZED],"In-Person"), 
    true)
