I have the following formula for a single line of text Calculated column named ShowInApp:

IF(OR(Status="Inactive",ISBLANK(Status)),"Hide",IF(FIND("Pending",[Category]),"Hide",IF(FIND("Monitoring And Evaluation Plan",[Category]),"Hide","Show")))

But on some cases I will get #Name? or #VALUE!, as follow:

enter image description here

Any Advice? Thanks

In short I want to set the calculated column to Hide, if any of the following is true:

  1. Status is blank
  2. Status = inactive
  3. Category contain the word Pending
  4. Category contain "Monitoring And Evaluation Plan"

Else to set the calculated column to Show.

    Do you really need "contain" condition for category or exact "equal to" condition will be fine? Commented Sep 1, 2022 at 10:17
  • @GaneshSanap i need contain, as we have statues such as "Pending approval", "pending closure". etc..

Try using this formula:

=IF(
    OR(
        [Status] = "Inactive",
        ISBLANK([Status])
    ),
    "Hide",
    IF(
        NOT(ISERROR(FIND("Pending", [Category]))),
        "Hide",
        IF(
            NOT(ISERROR(FIND("Monitoring And Evaluation Plan", [Category]))), "Hide", "Show"
        )
    )
)
