 * Hi,
 * Not sure I understand how to use the formulas! I have 3 scales to evaluate (red,
   green and purple), but the combination of them gives 13 results.
    For example
   the result red and green equal and second purple. In this case, the equal, red
   and green (higher score), can have a difference of maximum 3 numbers, up or down
   or be the same numbers! And purple has to be at least 4 numbers below red and
   green! How do I do this! I have tried many ways, but I am not getting anywhere!
   I hope it makes sense! Thank you!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fformulas-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * [@gpsouthey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gpsouthey/), by comparing, using
   AND/OR/>/</=.
 * Describe your logic and what you already tried.

 * The test counts how many of each color the respondent said yes, there are red,
   green and purple. Total of 30 questions each color. The results lead to 13 different
   answers being a combination of the colors.
    -The highest yes count is the strongest
   influence -The second highest yes count is supporting -The lowest yes count is
   the weak link -But there are also the colors with less than 3 difference in number,
   and they are the same strength.
 * So an 1st Purple, 2nd Green and 3rd Red:
    purple-analytical-thinker > green-natural-
   communicator AND green-natural-communicator > red-dynamic-leader But in this 
   example I still need to add that each of colors are not with a difference of 
   more than 3, up or down, what I have tried but didn’t work was:
 * purple-analytical-thinker > green-natural-communicator AND green-natural-communicator
   > red-dynamic-leader AND green-natural-communicator NOT ( <= red-dynamic-leader
   +3 ) AND green-natural-communicator NOT ( => purple-analytical-thinker + 3 )
 * I don’t think I know how to use the NOT() and () or a mistake when adding the
   numbers!
 * Thank you!

 * What if all colors are same? Or two colors same and third — not?
    Why do you 
   add this condition on +/- 3 as same?
 * Actually this logic can be implemented, but it’s too complex.
 * I suggest you to design your test to avoid this edge cases and complex conditions.
