Formula

Hi,

I'm trying to formulate below formula from excel in Alteryx using the formula icon, but I keeping "Malformed IF statement".

=IF(AND(E16="",F16="",G16=""),"Yes",
IF(G16="",IF((MIN(E16:F16))<K16,"Yes",MIN(E16:F16)),
IF(MIN(E16:G16)<K16,"Yes",MIN(E16:G16))))

Is there a better way to formulate this logic in Alteryx?

@SomuGS One way of writing the formula in Alteryx like below You need to change all the excel field name with corresponding Alteryx field name, also make sure that the datatype of the fields are correct

=IIF(isEmpty([E16]) And isEmpty([F16]) And isEmpty([G16]),"Yes",
IIF(isEmpty([G16])="",IIF((MIN([E16],[F16]))< [K16],"Yes",MIN([E16],[F16])),
IIF(MIN([E16],[G16])<[K16],"Yes",MIN([E16],[G16]))))

Hi @SomuGS

Can you help with the logic explained in few words, so can help to build a formula to work with Alteryx.

Also few data's to check in alteryx output.

binu_acs

=IIF(isEmpty([E16]) And isEmpty([F16]) And isEmpty([G16]),"Yes",
IIF(isEmpty([G16])="",IIF((MIN([E16],[F16]))< [K16],"Yes",MIN([E16],[F16])),
IIF(MIN([E16],[G16])<[K16],"Yes",MIN([E16],[G16]))))

Hi @SomuGS

Seeing @binu_acs reply will help you a lot.

++Information

When you read the excel files in alteryx, the cells which are empty in excel will be read as Null()

At that point replace the @binu_acs formula with IsNull instead of IsEmpty.

Many thanks

Hi @ShankerV thanks for looking into this,

1. If all the three columns (DOL-FFS, DOL_DEL, DOL_TRNSFR) are blank then I need the result as Yes

2. If DOL_TRNSFR is blank then I need "Yes" if the MIN of DOL-FFS & DOL_DEL is lesser than DOJ-FINAL or return MIN of DOL-FFS & DOL_DEL

3. If any of the above is not true then I would need "Yes" if the MIN of DOL-FFS, DOL_DEL & DOL_DEL is lesser than DOJ-FINAL or return MIN of DOL-FFS DOL_DEL & DOL_DEL

Thanks for the help.

@ShankerV The isEmpty() function works on both Null values and blank values.

Hi @binu_acs

Thanks for the explanation. It was really helpful.

Tried, it worked too.
