So we agree you have two different conditional sets. Are they linked in any way, or are they completely independent? Let me explain:
Else-If will only look at conditions2 if the overall result of conditions1 is false. Then-If does the opposite, it only looks at conditions2 if the overall result of conditions1 is true. The final ELSE statement is executed if the Else-If conditions2 is false, or if either of the Then-If conditions1 or conditions2 is false. Does this help? Or maybe it’s easier if you explain in words what you’re trying to do?
