The following formula is showing as a malformed if statement:

 

if Length([state]) = "2" then [State2] else [state]

 

Both State columns are listed as string data types

Hi @garretwalters12 

 

You missed an ENDIF at the end of your formula.

 

Besides, Length formula results in a number, it can't be a string. 

 

if Length([state]) = 2 then [State2] else [state] ENDIF


Cheers,
