Qrew LegendCan you say in plain english words what the logic is. It's hard to help debug if we don't know your intent.

Sorry for the confusion! My goal is to being able to override this formula, but I would like to have the override argument an "optional" thing. Therefore, when I leave "[Reimburse amount override]" empty, I would like to have the formula work as it is.
This is the original formula ( it works properly)
If([Category Requires # of 1-Way Trips Field],
If([Category - Multiplied by Mileage],
([# of 1-Way Trips] * [Category Rate]) * [Resource' Commuter Miles 1-way],
([# of 1-Way Trips] * [Category Rate])
),
[Mileage Cost]+[Cost]
)
I created a new currency field called "Reimburse amount override" and then I added to the main form. And then I came up with the following formula;
If([Reimburse Amount Override]>=0,[Reimburse Amount Override],
If([Category Requires # of 1-Way Trips Field],
If([Category - Multiplied by Mileage],
([# of 1-Way Trips] * [Category Rate]) * [Resource' Commuter Miles 1-way],
([# of 1-Way Trips] * [Category Rate])
),
[Mileage Cost]+[Cost]
))
Now the override works fine, but the problem is when I put so "cost", and I leave "Reimburse Amount Override" blank , the formula won't work anymore!

- MarkShnier__YouBefore I burn any brain cells can you tell me if on that override field you have deselected the checkbox to treat blank as zero? ie we want to treat blank as nulls and not as zero.
