I have a calculated column (see below) testing the content of six rating columns and it is working, however, I want to add a condition so that only those columns that are not null are tested. A list item may or may not have all six ratings but if all the ratings on a given item are low, then x = Low. I believe I can use ISBLANK but I can't get the formula to work. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

=IF(AND([Rate1]="Low",[Rate2]="Low",[Rate3]="Low",[Rate4]="Low",[Rate5]="Low",[Rate6]="Low"),"Low","Med")

How about this:

replace [Rate1]="Low"

with OR(ISBLANK([Rate1]),[Rate1]="Low")

Same for Rate2, Rate3, etc.

  • Thanks so much Christophe. The above logic was accepted but the test is always failed and the value of my column set to Med every time. Perhaps I need to test for a positve condition for my first test, COUNTA or similar? Thanks again! – Kms Mar 10 '14 at 13:57
  • @Kms if you used the formula pasted above, it is not correct and should actually be =IF(AND(OR(ISBLANK([Rate1]),[Rate1]="Low"),OR(ISBLANK([Rate2]),[Rate2]="Low"),OR(ISBLANK([Rate3]),[Rate3]="Low"),OR(ISBLANK([Rate4]),[Rate4]="Low"),OR(ISBL‌​ANK([Rate5]),[Rate5]="Low"),OR(ISBLANK([Rate6]),[Rate6]="Low")),"Low","Med"‌​) – Christophe Mar 11 '14 at 19:05
  • Thanks again Christophe - I get the following error when I attempt to use that formula. "The formula contains a syntax error or is not supported." I am on SharePoint 2010. – Kms Mar 13 '14 at 12:49
  • Oops, I had an extra space in there. It worked. Thanks again! – Kms Mar 13 '14 at 20:27
