Change the TRUE in a column to the Column Title word

Motivator

High, I am trying to change the "TRUE" (Bool) return in a column to show the Column Heading/title word such as "Residential"

 

I am using a formula,

But the last part says "Malformed IF statement"

 

Please can I have some help?

Hi @Motivator 

 

Your statement looks to be incomplete. The syntax is IF ... Then... Else... Endif

 

So with your example: (using null as the else clause but you can put anything)

IF [Residential] = "TRUE"

Then "Residential"

Else null() 

Endif

Hi @Motivator 

 

1st use select tool to convert it to v_string with length 20

2nd As @Luke_C mentioned. use above formual in a formula tool.
