Replacing "Primary Contact" / Requestor on Project w/ Calc Custom Expression

Avatar

Level 3
Hello! I know I have done this before but for some reason not working now... I have a Type Ahead field on the Project Object, with the purpose of overwriting any data copied from original request for the field Primary Contact. Normally, if Primary Contact exists, then both Primary Contact NAME and Primary Contact Home Group Name are copied to Project. HOWEVER...if that information needs to be changed on the Project (for reporting reasons), I would like to nest and IF THEN statement to give priority to the Type Ahead field. Currently, this calc is producing "No Requestor" in all cases... IF(!IsBlank({Requestor TypeAhead}),{Requestor TypeAhead}, IF(!IsBlank({Project_Requestor}),{Project_Requestor},"No Requestor"))) Any sleuths out there?
