Correct way to use status in a conditional formula inside a GI

I have a simple GI showing production orders and all I want to do is add some color to it based on the status.

 

This formula is currently not coloring anything and I tried a couple other ways too, the system seems to not recognize the Status ID as the actual words that I have in my condition.

 

Here is my formula:

=IIf( [AMProdItem.StatusID] = 'Released', 'green20', 
    IIf( [AMProdItem.StatusID] = 'In Process', 'blue20',
        IIf( [AMProdItem.StatusID] = 'On Hold', 'yellow20',
            IIf( [AMProdItem.StatusID] = 'Completed', 'green', 'default' ))))
 

 

Can a second pair of eyes show me what is wrong with this?

If you use the Acumatica inspect element (CTRL + ALT +click) on the field you can click the drop-down values button to see a list of all values.

Update: 

 

I have found that I need to use the Internal Value for the statuses, however I cannot find the value for completed. “C” is for closed, does anyone know the internal value for “completed”?

 

=IIf( [AMProdItem.StatusID] = 'R', 'green20',     IIf( [AMProdItem.StatusID] = 'I', 'blue20',        IIf( [AMProdItem.StatusID] = 'H', 'yellow20',            IIf( [AMProdItem.StatusID] = 'C', 'green', 'default' ))))

Thank you very much ​@Neil Cantral this is perfect, 

In case someone else is looking for the same thing, my value for completed is M

I find a switch rule to be a little tidier than nested ifs for these sorts of things and less prone to killing a GI in case of a typo

 

Here’s our color coding of the exact same

=switch([AMProdItem.StatusID]='P','yellow20',[AMProdItem.StatusID]='R','green20',[AMProdItem.StatusID]='I','green60',[AMProdItem.StatusID]='X','red20',[AMProdItem.StatusID]='M','default',[AMProdItem.StatusID]='C','default')
