parse error with nested If

I am getting parse error message while using nested IF formula and not able to determine what is the error. Please assist.

 

Formula looks good so far until I add an apostrophe (see 2nd screenshot) but I believe that's not the issue (see screenshot 3 and 4).

And when I execute, I get following error

Is it possible that your # of days column isn't a numeric data type? Try checking if it is a double with a select tool.

Hi @ayush_mishra,

 

It would be great if you could share some sample data, it would help us troubleshoot your problem better.

The error message shows that the expression#2 is having the error.

I tested on my side, that there is no issue with the formula in your Snapshot#2.

So most likely, your '# of Days' is not numeric?
