:UNIQUE will do a count of unique values of that type, in this case it would count the number of unique record types in the report.  Therefore, it will generage a number which fails in the comparison to the string, being the record type ID in quotes.

I would remove the UNIQUE keyword and test for RecordType.Id = 'that string'

Andrew

Hi Vinitha,

Please use the below formula syntax: 
If(
	AND(
		Opportunity.Users__c:SUM <= "2",
		RecordType:UNIQUE = "idvalue"
	),
	ROUND(........),
	ROUND(.......)
)

Let me know if you still face any issue.

Thanks,
Abhishek Bansal.

It's causing issue for the record type id 
can you please try to remove the "" from record type id as well.
I am not sure how this UNIQUE function work, please check on google how to pass record id in these type of functions.
Once that is corrected your formula will work fine.

Thanks.

Thanks, Andrew! Removing the UNIQUE keyword from the record type solved it.
