Formula, replacing null with statement

Hi,

 

Have a list and adding comments when a line is remove from final output with an error.  Where have I gone wrong in 2nd statement.  Guess I have issue with writing correct statements. 

 

1st statement works:  Adding column if [LOB]="Facility Services" then "Remove LOB Facility" else Null() endif

 

2nd statement is malformed statement error even though statement is highlighted correctly:

 

iF(IsNull([Remove from list] and if [LOB]="International Non-Operating" then "Remove LOB Intl" else [Remove from list] endif

 

Expected result

WORKSDoes not Work   
Statement #1 Adds column and logic or nullStatement #2LOBADDR_LINE_1CITY_LOCALITY
Remove LOB FacilityRemove LOB FacilityFacility Services123Downers Grove
(null)Remove LOB IntlInternational Non-Operating456HOUSTON

Thanks in Advance for helping.

Hi @CherylH 

 

Try this, removed the IF after the 'and' and added a parenthesis to the isnull formula

 

IF  IsNull([Remove from list]) AND [LOB]="International Non-Operating"

then "Remove LOB Intl"

else [Remove from list]

endif

Luke,

 

Now formula goes black after the Then.  Data type is V-String.

 

IF  IsNull([Remove from list]) AND [LOB]="International Non-Operating"

then "Remove LOB Intl"

 

Any other idea?

Luke,

Never mind, I retyped it instead of copying your response and it works.

 

I was really overthinking the formula.

 

Thanks for helping
