Formula returning random data

I have a list of 7 courses and with each course comes specific data.The Tuition Type and SHP Item Type numbers are specific to each course. In this screenshot below, I have the courses in a dropdown list and hoping to populate the SHP Items Type and the Tuition Type columns with their corresponding data. It works for many columns, but for others, it's bringing back data, but not for the correct courses. The formulas I have set up for each are:

SHP: =INDEX({Data SHPType}, MATCH([email protected], ({Data Course})))

Tuition: =INDEX({Data TuitionType}, MATCH([email protected], ({Data Course})))

Any ideas? I have MANY different formulas going in this document, but I'm trying to do them one at a time to be sure they're working before moving on. Thank you!

SUMIFS({011-AP Archive -# of Days to Complete}, {011-AP Archive -# of Days to Complete}, > 30, {011-AP Archive -# of Days to Complete}, < 60)<\/p>

With SUMIFS, you have to include the range to SUM separately from the ranges to compare. In your scenario, they are the same, but can be different.<\/p>

Hi @Christine Cao<\/a>,<\/p>

It's down to your formula and rounding. What's happening is that you have 0.3 of a week (which I'm guessing is actually 2 days - 0.2857..., rounded to 0.3). If you calculate 321.5\/(2\/7), you end up with the 1125.3 (to 1 dp).<\/p>

You can get round this by altering your formula to do what you're actually after:<\/p>

=IF([Column2]9 >= 1, [Column3]@row \/ [Column2]9, MAX([Column3]@row, 0))<\/p>

This should make it so if weeks remaining is equal to or greater than 1 it will do the calculation, and otherwise take the MAX of either 0 or column 3.<\/p>

Give this a try and hopefully it should resolve your issue!<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":254,"urlcode":"Formulas","name":"Formulas"}]},{"discussionID":106512,"type":"question","name":"Mandatory \"pick value from list\" field in Global Update","excerpt":"Issue with the Global Update feature, specifically when trying to add a new value to an existing column without altering any existing values.

Hi Mirelle,<\/p>


<\/p>

When applying the global update to modify the column, right under the selection of the column name, there are two checkboxes. One to change column property and the other is to change column cell data. Both are checked by default. To ensure only the new dropdown values are pushed and no existing values are updated, all you have to do it uncheck the box which says Change column cell data. This will remove the Pick value from list option altogether and you can apply the update.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&categoryID=322&includeChildCategories=1&type%5B0%5D=Question&excludeHiddenCategories=1&sort=-hot&limit=3&expand%5B0%5D=all&expand%5B1%5D=-body&expand%5B2%5D=insertUser&expand%5B3%5D=lastUser&status=accepted","prevURL":null,"currentPage":1,"total":10000,"limit":3},"title":"Trending in Formulas and Functions ","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
