  • No worries! Im curious if I could write it in a way so following picklist selection, the numeric values are added up and then divided by 11 (basically an average)? – Milad Mohammadi Aug 9 '19 at 2:07
  • Sure - is it the case that all of the picklists are usually completed? Because what your current formula does is make a sort of hierarchy from them: If there's no score for Mission Alignment, then we look at Quality & Strength of Program, and so forth. – Thomas Taylor Aug 9 '19 at 3:09
  • To make the average, each picklist should have a complete CASE(), with a 0 option for no match, then add & divide: (CASE ( Mission_Aligned__c,"No elements aligned",1,"Few elements aligned",2,"Some elements aligned",3, "Most elements aligned",4,"All elements aligned",5,0) + CASE ( Quality_Strength_Confidence_of_Program__c,"Not research based",1, "Some research based",2,"Majority research based",3, "Evidence informed",4,"Evidence based",5,0) + [...9 other CASEs...] "4+ partnerships involved",5,0)) / 11 – Thomas Taylor Aug 9 '19 at 3:46
  • Thanks @Thomas, this makes sense. You brought up a great point on picklist completion. In the case that a field is left uncompleted and I don't want it to equal zero and want to subtract it from the denominator (ie if one field is not completed; divide by 10 rather than 11) any method to do this? – Milad Mohammadi Aug 9 '19 at 4:03
  • You might run out of characters for formula length, but you could try making the denominator be IF(ISBLANK(TEXT(Picklist1__c)),0,1) + IF(ISBLANK(TEXT(Picklist2__c)),0,1) + ... – Thomas Taylor Aug 9 '19 at 4:08

You've got a missing comma lurking:

"1-2 community stakeholder trend identification"2,

I suspect the way the parser interprets that ends up unbalancing the paired parameters, making it believe your formula is intended to end early - hence looking for a close parenthesis.
