Using Formula answer in another Formula

Thanks Chris.

Keeping them simple, and a lot of trial and error is the only way i can get a formula to work, so was hoping to avoid creating complex Formulae. If you're able to help, i've posted again with the details of the specific formula:

Hi Chris,

if your not able to refer to other formulas, you will need to add the existing formula into the new formula e.g

formula 1 - display long for all task over 10 days and short for less than 10 days

 

if(duration > '10d', "Long","Short")

formula 2 - depending on the result of Long or Short display different messages

if(if(duration > '10d', "Long","Short")="Long","Task over 10 days","Task less than 10 days")

 

I would always recommend that when building a new formula, build it in small sections so you know that each part works.
