If then questions

Question

I have a series of If conditions I want to figure out but am getting a boolean error at the end of the statement.

If([FC Shake Type2]="Staggered Shake", [Actual Shake Siding], //Condition 1
if([FC Shake Type2]="Straight Shake",0, //Condition 2
if([City Set Shake Type]="Staggered Shake",[Actual Shake Siding], //Condition 3
if([Bid Set Shake Type]="Staggered Shake",[Actual Shake Siding],0),0)),0)

Screenshot of formula

Error Message:
Just wondering where I went wrong in the formula, it looks right to me but there's the error saying I'm wrong.

In Quickbase syntax it's simpler than excel. Just list your conditions vertically with just one IF. But also this is a formula text field type so you cannot have a numeric 0 as a result. Hence I added quotes around the 0.

If(
[FC Shake Type2]="Staggered Shake", [Actual Shake Siding], //Condition 1

[FC Shake Type2]="Straight Shake","0", //Condition 2

[City Set Shake Type]="Staggered Shake",[Actual Shake Siding], //Condition 3

[Bid Set Shake Type]="Staggered Shake",[Actual Shake Siding],"0")

That worked. I put the Straight Shake condition first and then looked at the others.

Thank you again for your help, actually this solves a multitude of problems as I've been hitting similar errors which I can apply the same logic to.
