Level Up with Advanced Formulas

Hello, 

My trailhead wont let be beat this challenge. I says:

"Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The 'Opportunity_Progress__c' formula field does not exist or is not of type 'Number'"

Heres my code:

IF( Percent_Completed__c <=  0.25, "Early", IF( Percent_Completed__c  <= 0.75, "Middle", "Late" ) )

(TODAY() -DATEVALUE(CreatedDate))/ (CloseDate-DATEVALUE(CreatedDate))

What am I doing wrong? The top formula outputs as text, bottom one is a percent

Thank you for help!

Percentage Completed field:
(DATEVALUE( CreatedDate ) - CloseDate ) / 100

Opportunity progress :
IF( Percent_Completed__c < 25 , "Early", 
IF(Percent_Completed__c >25 && Percent_Completed__c <75 ,"Middle","Late"))

Please update the field Lable and API name to "Opportunity Progress" and "Opportunity_Progress__c"

NOTE:- you added wrong name "Opportunity Progess"

B/c they say "This formula field should use TODAY() to calculate what percentage of the time between an opportunity’s CreatedDate and CloseDate has passed"; I came up with this approach to show % of days that has passed from Created to Close: 
IF(
        CloseDate - Today()>0,
        ((Today() - DATEVALUE(CreatedDate)) / (CloseDate - DATEVALUE(CreatedDate))),
   1)

Hi Folks,

Just do it create Opportunuty Object->Custom Field(formula)->Give name(Percent completed)->Datatype-Type(percent)->Formula(Below)

(TODAY() - DATEVALUE(CreatedDate))/(CloseDate - DATEVALUE(CreatedDate))

Again(Custom Field(formula)->Give Name(Opportunity Progress)->Datatype-Type(Text)->Formula(Below))
IF( Percent_Completed__c <= 25 , "Early", 
IF(Percent_Completed__c >25 && Percent_Completed__c <=75 ,"Middle","Late")) Then save 

You completed this challenge:)

Hello All, 

So, none of the formulas are being allowed in my trailhead playground. I continue to get this error message while working to build the helper formula for this Hands-On Challenge. Anyone have any ideas?

My logic is as below :-
Percent complete formula :-
IF (
DATEVALUE( CreatedDate )= TODAY() || CloseDate = DATEVALUE( CreatedDate ) ,
0,
((TODAY() -DATEVALUE(CreatedDate )) / (CloseDate - DATEVALUE(CreatedDate )))*100

)

Explaination :-
If the oppurtunity is closed date is same as created data then percent completed will be 0% else No. of days past(TODAY() -DATEVALUE(CreatedDate ) divided by Total number of days*100 ie (CloseDate - DATEVALUE(CreatedDate ))*100

Now we will use this percent complete formula for our final goal which is Opportunity Progress
Opportunity Progress formula :-
IF( Percent_Completed__c <= 25 ,"Early" ,
IF(Percent_Completed__c > 25 && Percent_Completed__c < 75,"Middle","Late"))


Let know if anything wrong . I Passed the test Level Up with Advanced Formulas with this logic 
Thanks ,

Hi Folks Correct Solution is,

Opportunity Progress:
Object Manager ->Opportunity->  Field and Relationship -> new - > Formula - > 'Opportunity Progress'  - > Formula return type: Text

IF(
(Today() - DateValue(CreatedDate)) / (CloseDate - DateValue(CreatedDate)) <= 0.25, "Early",
IF(
AND(
(Today() - DateValue(CreatedDate)) / (CloseDate - DateValue(CreatedDate)) > 0.25,
(Today() - DateValue(CreatedDate)) / (CloseDate - DateValue(CreatedDate)) < 0.75),"Middle",
IF((Today() - DateValue(CreatedDate)) / (CloseDate - DateValue(CreatedDate)) >0.75,"Late",Null)))


Percent Completed:

(Today() - DateValue(CreatedDate)) / (CloseDate - DateValue(CreatedDate))

Contribution Percentage:
ExpectedRevenue /100000

Contribution Level:
if(
Contribution_Percentage__c <= 0.1, "Low",
(if(
Contribution_Percentage__c > 0.1 && Contribution_Percentage__c <= 0.4, "Medium", "High")))

It worked  too;

Contribution Percentage:
ExpectedRevenue /100000

Contribution Level:
IF( Contribution_Percentage__c  <= 0.10, 'Low', 
   IF(Contribution_Percentage__c   >  0.40, 'High', 
     'Medium'
      ) 
    )
