Creating a Status column (IF statement/calculated column)

I'm developing list for managing a project with 11 columns each representing a project milestone.
We'll call them A,B,C...K.
"A" representing a status of "Project Started" and K representing "Project Complete" with various statuses in between.
When a milestone has been reached, the date is input into the appropriate column. So when the project is complete, there will be dates in all columns A-K
I wish to incorporate a new column that indicates the current status depending on if columns A-K have been filled in.
So if all columns are blank, a status of "Awaiting start" is indicated.
If column A is filled in with a date, a status of "A" is indicated.
If columns A and column B are filled in then a status of "B" is indicated.
If columns A, B and C are filled in then a status of "C" is indicated. * * If all the columns are filled in with dates, a status of "K" is indicated.
Any ideas? Some form of If statement in a calculated Status column?

Hello,
You can use nested if statement something like below.
For example, I have one column named as 'Score' and the requirement is to perform quartile breakup based on score so for that I can use below calculated formula in my calculated column.
=IF(INT(Score)>85,"85 Above"
,IF(AND(85>=INT(Score),INT(Score)>=80),"85-80"
,IF(AND(79>=INT(Score),INT(Score)>=75),"79-75"
,IF(INT(Score)<75,"Below 75","0"))))
Have below links for more details.

Joining Two Columns with Sharepoint Calculated Column

Ok, bear with me. I have a form where i'm collecting names from both AD and a Custom Entry. What I need to to is create a calculated column that pulls in the name from the AD column, or, if blank, concatenates the first and last names from two other columns.
I was thinking that I'd have to use and "IFBLANK" formula but that hasnt seemed to work for me. Any ideas?

you can use something like this
=IF(LEN([AD])>0,[AD],[first]&" "&[last])

How to refer a column in a calculated column in Answers Criteria

Hi All,
I have a set of columns (which contains column level filters).
I also have 2 more calculated columns whose formula is based on the earlier columns (like (col1-col2)/col1 ).
Presently, i'm using the col1 and col2 formulas and placed them in the calculated cols.
Instead, is there any way to refer to the columns(col1, col2) without placing its col formula, in the calculated column.
is there any such thing like.. ({c1} - {c2}) / {c1}
Thank you,
Raghu

Hi,
Thank you for the replies.
actually i have a huge formula in 'col 1' and 'col 2' as well
and in the new calculated col, i'm again using that huge formula to implement the logic col1-col2/col1.
so, will this affect the performance.?
or the performance will be the same?
Thank you,
Raghu

SharePoint 2013 Make Calculated Column based on Custom Column

In SharePoint 2013, I am trying to create a Calculated Column that is a shortened display of another Custom Column. The Calculated Column would just show the first 100 characters concatenated with "..." like in the following formula:
=LEFT([CustomColumn],100)&"..."
However, every time that I go to create this calculated column, SharePoint doesn't provide my [CustomColumn] in the "Insert Column:" list. If I type it in anyway, SharePoint throws an error.
Details on my Column, List, and Site below:
Col. Type: Multiple lines of text
Col. Group: Custom Columns
Col. Text Type: Enhanced rich text
List Content Type: Custom Type Inherits from Event
Site Type: Publishing
Also, to no avail, I found this similar post (link below), but creating the Site Column and Calculated Column
before adding it to the Content Type did not work for me.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/26a7517e-ba43-4c49-95aa-3e6f7f4207ba/calculated-field-in-content-type-not-working
Anyone out there know how to coax SharePoint into submission?!

Multi lines of text are one of the types of columns which can't be used by calculated columns/fields. Among such unusable columns are also Lookup columns, People columns, External Columns, MMS columns, etc.

DAX - IF statement and filters within calculated column

Hi all,
I've got a bit of a complex formula I'm trying to run, but I'm not quite there yet. I don't know where/how/if I can place a filter within my IF statement for a calculated column due to so many variables. I either get errors or wrong numbers.
Hope the following makes sense.
Here is my formula for the calculated column [Years Since Last Task]:
=IF (ISBLANK([Last Task Date]) && ([Current Role]<>BLANK()), DIVIDE([Quarters],4), FLOOR(1. * ( today() - [Last Task Date]) / 365, 0.25))
Problem: I am getting "114.25" for Ken....but I want a blank result instead. Meaning, I need to also filter out any name (row) who has a blank [Current Role]. How do
I add a filter to this current formula? Is one more step of filtering possible in this IF statement? (Maybe I shouldn't use an IF statement, and try CALCULATE instead?)
Below is the table 'Work' for you to see what's happening.
Name
Quarters
Last Task Date
Current Role
Years Since Last Task

you can use nested IF-statements here:
=IF (ISBLANK([Current Role]),
BLANK(),
IF(ISBLANK([Last Task Date]),
DIVIDE([Quarters],4),
FLOOR(1. * ( today() - [Last Task Date]) / 365,0.25)

How to write the expression when create the calculated column?

Dear,
I want to create some calculated column in my attribute view, but I don't know how to write the code in the expression, is there any introduction about this part, how to use those function and how about the grammar in this expression code ? or is there any example about this calculated column?
Thanks for your sincerely answer.

Hi Zongjie,
you can find some information about the creation of calculated columns in the HANA Modeling Guide (http://help.sap.com/hana/SAP_HANA_Modeling_Guide_for_SAP_HANA_Studio_en.pdf).
Within chapter 6.2.1 (Create Analytic Views) you can see under point 7 some basics and also a simple example. The same is also valid for Calculation Views.
Chapter 8.9 (Using Functions in Expressions) describes the different available functions.
You also can use the integrated search in the HANA Studio by clicking the "?" button in the button left corner. Then you get some links in the side panel with related information.
In general you can write your expression manually or you can just drag and drop the functions, elements, operators into the editor window. For example if you drag and drop the "if" function into the editor window you get "if(intarg,arg2,arg3)" inserted. The arguments can be replaced manually or also by drag and drop.
It is also worse to use the "Validate Syntax" button on top of the editor window. It gives you directly a feedback if your expression syntax is correct. If not you get some helpful information about the problem (ok, sometimes it is a little bit confusing because of the cryptic error message format ).
Best Regards,
Florian

Hi,
For reminder type requirements, I tend to use the ‘Information Management Policy’ SPD method as described in
this blog article by Laura Rogers (it’s for MOSS and WSS but works in SP2010 also).
This method avoids the use of calculated columns; rather the workflow does the calculation and outputs information into a ‘reminder’ field. Also, I don’t like the idea of ‘paused workflows’, so this method works for me.
Cheers

Calculated items to be created on rows as well as on columns of a pivot tab

Hello Experts,
My Report has 3 columns . First is Hierarchy(parent-child) column, second is Fiscal Month and third a measure. I have multiple groups and calculated items added in selection pane for the Hierarchy column.
I created a pivot table using above 3 columns where in rows bucket I have hierarchy column,in columns bucket I have Fiscal Month and in the measures bucket I have the measure.
Now when I try to create a calculated item on Fiscal Month like $-1-$-2, I get the following error.

Problem when creating a calculated column "Item has already been added"

Hi,
I built an a set of lists and custom content types which are made available under http://moss/callcenter. When I want to create a new calculated column for one of my custom content types i get the following error
Item has already been added. Key in
dictionary: 'Strasse_Strasse' Key being added: 'Straße_Straße'
This is rather strange as I don't even get as far as creating that new column. The error occurs right when I select the type calculated column, even before I enter a name for the new column. How ever, when I want to create a calculated column in root site collection (http://moss/) this error does not occur and I can create the new column.
Any ideas anyone?
Thank you,
Christoph

Calculated Column using IF statement with DATEIF formula

I have a dated column that includes a date when a position is vacated otherwise the field is blank if the position is still filled. I want a calculated column to return the number of days the position has been vancant from the date that is listed to today.
So the following was entered & works.....
=DATEDIF([Vacancy Date],Today,"d")
The delima is that it is also returning a value when there is no date in the dated column but it returns a funky number 42,069. What I want it to return when the dated column is blank is blank or zero would work too. I don't know how to incorporate that
into this formula.

You are correct it no longer reads that column as Today.... So is there anyway to make this a calculated column for my purposes?
I'm going to use SharePoint list for a Position Pool & managing positions within a large department. What I'm attempting to do with this column is have a current count of the number of days since a position has been vacant. Our system that I pull the
position data from will give me the vacancy date for those positions & where the position is filled the date field will be blank. So I'm wanting this column to return a 0 when the position is listed as filled & the number of days vacant based on the
vacancy date column I have. Is there any way to make this work in SharePoint? Obviously I can make that work in Excel however my task was to load raw data into SharePoint & have SharePoint do the work if possible with little to no human intervention prior
to loading to SharePoint.
Thank you,
MMHagman
