Using AND with Null values

I have a formula with multiple Null and Not Null values, one of the nested statements needs to look at two fields so I used AND, but this generates an error "AND" cannot be applied. 

If(
IsNull([Pallet Grp "C"]),0,
((Nz([Low, Carton "C"] and (IsNull([high, carton "C"])),1)
[high, carton "C"]-[low, carton "C"]+1)

Can someone recommend a solution--if possible.

    Sure, try this

    If(
    IsNull([Pallet Grp "C"]),0,
    Nz([Low, Carton "C"]) and IsNull([high, carton "C"]),1,
    [high, carton "C"]-[low, carton "C"]+1)

      Hi Mark,

      I see that I had a few misplaced (), which I corrected; however, the AND statement is still not working.

    My initial suggestion was incorrect, but maybe this is what you want.  But I think it would help if you said in plain english what you want the formula to do.

    Also when you are evaluating numeric fields to tell if they are null, it requires that field's properties to have the checkbox "treat blank as zero" deselected.

    If(
    IsNull([Pallet Grp "C"]),0,
    Nz([Low, Carton "C"])=0 and IsNull([high, carton "C"]),1,
    [high, carton "C"]-[low, carton "C"]+1)
