Hi,
I am using an If formula to populate a new column with either a 1 or 0 depending on the calculation. The goal is to match several columns data for each row and populate the new column with a 1 if each columns numbers match. The issue I am seeing is that there are instances where the row has the same number across the columns within the formula but the new column is being populated with 0 instead of the expected 1. Many are being done correctly and the new column has a 1 but some are not and that causes none of the data to be reliable. Why is the formula not working correctly for the whole population, or is there a different way to match the data across the columns for each row.
All of the data types being used in the formula are double
The formula:
IF [4/22/2024]=[4/19/2024] and [4/19/2024]=[4/18/2024] and [4/18/2024]=[4/17/2024] and [4/17/2024]=[4/16/2024] and [4/16/2024]=[4/15/2024] and [4/15/2024]=[4/12/2024] and [4/12/2024]=[4/22/2024] THEN 1 ELSE 0 ENDIF

try changing your numbers to integer or rounding them (us multi field tool to apply to several fields in one go)
This did work, unfortunately my data needs to include 2 decimal points as it is dollar amounts. I appreciate your help nonetheless.
I was able to fix the problem by using fixed decimal data type with only 2 decimal points.
