Greta Rocio Salas Menendez‌, your code is very similar to the functioning example code that Dan Patterson‌ provided (ignoring the spacing issue from not formatting code), which makes me wonder whether you are selecting the Python Parser

def Reclass(BP_sqm): """Provide some context""" if (BP_sqm <= 150): return 150 elif (BP_sqm > 150 and BP_sqm <=300): return 300 elif (BP_sqm > 300 and BP_sqm <=500): return 500 elif (BP_sqm> 500 and BP_sqm <=1000): return 1000 else: return -999 # ----- Demo vals = [149, 299, 499, 999, 9999] for i in vals: print("{} -- {}".format(i, Reclass(i))) 149 -- 150 299 -- 300 499 -- 500 999 -- 1000 9999 -- -999 ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
