IF Statement, Both columns are blank.

hi,

 

Trying to create a new column if Column A is blank then use Colb to fill, else use column A. 

But what if both columns are blank? How can I add "New col is blank if both col A and B are blank"?

 

Here is what I got:

New col = IF ColA is "" then use ColB else use ColA.

 

Thanks.

Hi @wonka1234,

 

You could use:

 

IF [ColumnA] = "" AND [ColumnB] = "" THEN ""
ELSEIF [ColumnA] = "" THEN [ColumnB]
ELSE [ColumnA]
ENDIF

 

Kind regards,

Jonathan
