IFS

Clean multi-way logic.

SL ≥ 90%GreenSL ≥ 80%AmberelseRedIFS checks each test in order, top to bottom

Why planners need it

Replaces unreadable nested IFs. Perfect for RAG status, banding occupancy, or mapping SL to an action.

Syntax

=IFS(test1, result1, test2, result2, …, TRUE, default)

Worked example

Turn service level into a status:

=IFS(SL>=0.9,"Green", SL>=0.8,"Amber", TRUE,"Red")Amber at 84%.

Watch out: Tests run top to bottom — order them strictest first. End with TRUE, default or an unmatched value returns #N/A.
