IF Contains Nested Formula Error

Hello!

Would anybody be able to see what I'm doing wrong here? I'm trying to make it so if my "Part Number" column contains "Purchase Order" that the green icon doesn't show up.


Here's my formula:


=IF([email protected]= "RFQ", "", IF([email protected]= "Ordered", "", IF([email protected]= "Received", "☑️", IF([email protected]= "Partial", "", IF([email protected]= "Stock", "☑️", IF([email protected]= "Ready at Vendor", "⏺️", IF([email protected]= "@ S.O. Vendor", "", IF([email protected]= "Hold", "", IF([email protected]= "Cancelled", "", IF([email protected]= "Order Confirmed", "", IF([email protected]= "Reference Only", "", IF([email protected]= "", "", IF(CONTAINS("Purchase Order", [Part Number]:[Part Number]), "")))))))))))))

I'm just trying to make the formatting look nicer. Also if I filter for the green circle in a report I don't want to see those rows.
