Formulas Required for Automation

• Due Next Date (Chore Sheet): =IF([@Status]="Completed", IF([@Frequency]="Daily", TODAY()+1, IF([@Frequency]="Weekly", TODAY()+7, IF([@Frequency]="Bi-weekly", TODAY()+14, IF([@Frequency]="Monthly", TODAY()+30,"")))), [@Last Completed Date]+IF(@[Frequency]="Daily", 1, IF(@[Frequency]="Weekly", 7, IF(@[Frequency]="Bi-weekly", 14, IF(@[Frequency]="Monthly", 30,"")))))
