I am hoping someone can tell me what is wrong with my formula. I have got the first part working but when I add the IF function, I cannot get it to work. I am very new to nested functions so I have quite likely done something very obviously wrong.
| =B4& " " & A4 & " " & "(" & PROPER(C4) & ")", <br>IF(ISBLANK(D4)," works"," owns") |

Thank you so much!! The explanation and options were really helpful
Hi Sarah P!
the IF function is not nested corrected,
The correct way to use this is either:
=IF(ISBLANK(B4&" "&A4&" "&"("&PROPER(C4)&")")," works"," owns") if you want to display only works or own
=B4& " " & A4 & " " & "(" & PROPER(C4) & ")"&IF(ISBLANK(D4)," works"," owns") if you want to get all (the value of B4, A4, C4 AND WORKS (if D4 is empty) OR OWN if not
Kind Regards, Shakiru
Change the formula to:
| =B4& " " & A4 & " " & "(" & PROPER(C4) & ")"**&**IF(ISBLANK(D4)," works"," owns") |
