Google-sheets – How to write conditional formula for multiple conditions

formulasgoogle sheets

Trying to figure out how to write a formula in Google Sheets that will automatically calculate a deadline for me based on priority and an established date.

I have 3 columns: Date (A), Priority (B), and Deadline (C).

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

  • If Priority (B) equals 1, then return A.
  • If Priority (B) equals 2, then return A+3.
  • If Priority (B) equals 3, then return A+7.

How in the hell do I write this as a single formula that goes into each row under column C (Deadline)?

Nested ifs is one obvious way.

=IF(B1=1,A1,IF(B1=2,A1+3,IF(B1=3,A1+7,0)))
