I needed to test a return for 3 numbers. I tried like heck to figure out a way to do it and I got it to work with IF and AND, nested. The syntax of IF(AND( took awhile for me to configure, but it is now working. Would you recommend something less tedious? I didn’t know there are IFS statements, which I did not use since I was more familiar with IF. Appreciate a suggestion.
