IF statement returns false when statment is True
 

I have the following formula:

=IF(AND(S95<"",TODAY()<S95),"Investigating PFM",IF(AND(S95<"",TODAY()S95,T95=""),TODAY()-S95&" "&""&"Days Past Due",IF(AND(S95="",T95<""),"Investigation Report Received",IF(AND(S95<"",T95<""),"Investigation Report Received",IF(L95="District Did Not Investigate","PFM Withdrawn",IF(AND(S95="",TODAY()Q95),TODAY()-Q95&" "&""&"Days Past Due",IF(AND(S95="",TODAY()<Q95),"Investigating PFM")))))))

This statement return false when in reality it is true. Why?
IF(L95="District Did Not Investigate","PFM Withdrawn"

IF statement returns false when statment is True

you have to put the conditions into the formula in the order of your
priority. The conditions are checked from left to right and if the first
condition is TRUE you get the output for this condition. Following
conditions will not be checked.
Try:
=IF(L95="District Did Not Investigate","PFM Withdrawn",IF(TODAY()<S95,"Investigating PFM",IF(AND(S95<"",TODAY()S95,T95=""),TODAY()-S95&" "&""&"Days Past Due",IF(AND(S95="",T95<""),"Investigation Report Received",IF(AND(S95<"",T95<""),"Investigation Report Received",IF(AND(S95="",TODAY()Q95),TODAY()-Q95&" "&""&"Days Past Due",IF(AND(S95="",TODAY()<Q95),"Investigating PFM")))))))

Thanks very much for the help but I get the same answer. The formula is recognizing L95 as false when in reality it is true. In l95 I have a drop down list that I make a selection from but for whatever reason the formula is returning a result of false.

the formula is tested in Excel and it worked well. Check the spelling in
L95 and in your formula if it matches. Perhaps you have leading or
trailing spaces in L95.

=IF(L95="District Did Not Investigate","PFM Withdrawn",IF(TODAY()<S95,"Investigating PFM",IF(AND(S95<"",TODAY()S95,T95=""),TODAY()-S95&" "&""&"Days Past Due",IF(AND(S95="",T95<""),"Investigation Report Received",IF(AND(S95<"",T95<""),"Investigation Report Received",IF(AND(S95="",TODAY()Q95),TODAY()-Q95&" "&""&"Days Past Due",IF(AND(S95="",TODAY()<Q95),"Investigating PFM","")))))))

Thanks very much for your help. That was the problem. I had extra spaces at the end of the text in L95 that was throwing off the formula. Again thanks very much.
