Formula tool not working for my If formula for a string value

Hi,

 

I would appreciate some help on this issue

 

I have a formula as follows

 

Event Year (field nam)

IF [EP_Scenario]="2019Actuals" THEN "2019" ELSE IF [EP_Scenario]="2020Actuals" THEN "2020" ELSE "" ENDIF ENDIF

 

However, when I run the workflow and check the data in the Event year field there are blanks instead of the 2019 and 2020 years that I specified in the formula. Does anybody why this is happenning?

 

Thank you,

 

JV

That was it! There were white spaces in the EP_Scenario, so I used a Data Cleansing tool

 

Thanks
