I am trying to use formulas to make columns functional in Microsoft Lists for a test portal.
The first formula I am trying to use is to assign a value of "1" if the correct answer is submitted from a 40 question test submission (form response added to list) and "0" if the incorrect answer is submitted. i.e. Question 6 response is column name "Q6", the formula to assign value 1 or 0 is column name "Q6V". Correct answer is B.
Formula 1: =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Correct Question Answer",Column Title)),"1","0")
Syntax in Q6V Column Formula section of Column Settings: =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("B.",Q6)),"1","0")
The second formula I am trying to use to add up all value columns in a "Test Score" column.
Formula 2: =[Column1]+[Column2]+[Column3]
The third formula I am trying to use assigns pass/fail based on the test score in the portal. This particular test needs a score of 39 out of 46.
Formula 3: =IF([Test Score]<Minimum Score Needed To Pass ,"Fail","Pass")
Syntax in Pass/Fail Column Formula section of Column Settings: =IF([Test Score]<39, "Fail","Pass")
In all 3 formulas of the calculated value columns, I am getting either a "Sorry, we couldn't edit the column. Please try again." error or "The validation formula can refer to this column and not others." error.
What might I be doing wrong?
