Thank you, I very much appreciate the help. I made the adjustments Michael suggested so the full formula is now:

The first instance of Customer Type is highlighted and the message when I hover over it is 'expecting bool but found textlist.' When I try to save, the error message is:
"Formula error -- Bad or missing arguments in function call

The first instance of Customer Type is highlighted and the message when I hover over it is 'expecting bool but found textlist.' When I try to save, the error message is:
"Formula error -- Bad or missing arguments in function call
The types of the arguments or the number of arguments supplied do not meet the requirements of the function Case. The function is defined to be Case ( |
You may need to do one of the following to fix the problem:
- Choose the right number and type of arguments.
- Use a type conversion function to convert the arguments you are using to the correct type.
- Choose a different function."

Formula Error -- Type Mismatch
The expression [Customer Type] on the left hand side of the operator "=" is of type textlist while the expression "Corporate Coalition" on the right hand side is of type text. The operator "=" cannot be used with these types of expressions.
You may need to do one of the following to fix the problem:- Add a type conversion function.
- Choose a different operator.

Rebecca Garcia-Pons
------------------------------- MichaelTamoush3 years agoQrew CaptainWhat type of formula field is [Customer Type]? Is it a combined text field?
Try If(totext([Customer Type) = "Corporate Coalition",
If the error solves it self in the first instance, do that to all instances.
