Calculated column using 4 different columns to derive an “approve” or “Decline” answer
Question
I would like to use an IF function to obtain an answer to "Approve" or "Decline" within a SharePoint list. My formula works in Excel but not in SharePoint.
I have 4 SharePoint columns:
column name = [Request Type], excel cell =G2 (to be "approved" the word "TD" must be chosen)
column name = [Position title], excel cell =F2 (to be "approved" the word "MEM" must be chosen)
column name = [% Discount], excel cell =J2 (to be "approved" value must be <=0.6)
column name = [Criteria Total], excel cell =S2 (to be "approved" value must be >=100)
My formula works in Excel but not in SharePoint.
Excel formula is: =IF(AND(G2="TD",F2="MEM",S2>=100,J2<0.7),"APPROVE","DECLINE")
When I enter it in SharePoint I change the cells to the column name and it always says "decline" when the answer should be "approve"
Can someone please help me?
Solution
Assuming [Criteria Total]
has returned data type as Number, you can use below formula:
=IF(AND([Request Type] = "TD", [Position title] = "MEM", [Criteria Total] >= 100, Value([% Discount]) <= 0.6), "APPROVE", "DECLINE")
Microsoft documentations:

=IF(AND([Request Type]="TD",[Position title]="MEM",[Criteria Total]>=100,[% Discount]<0.7),"APPROVE","DECLINE")
=IF(AND([Request Type]="TD",[Position title]="MEM",[Criteria Total]>=100,VALUE([% Discount])<0.7),"APPROVE","DECLINE")
Because the original value of % Discount
is a text value, it needs to be converted to a number.
VALUE function
