Hello,



It seems that there is an operation between the If... Then and Else statement. Shift this operation one level to the right to make it a child of If...Then.

      Hi,

       

      Thanks for sharing pics

       

      In thirth image also we need to define "If..Then" opration under Else

      Otherwise it wont work.

        You can add as many nested If Then pairs as you like, just make sure they are indented under the Else or wherever you want them to be.  The column position creates the nesting.

         

        If you need another If Then under the Else like in the third example, just make sure it lines up like the Log in Joseph's example.
