IF THEN ELSEIF Statement

Question

I am trying to create a score 1-8 for my data using a Formula tool with an IF statement. It makes sense to me and I feel like it should work but once I add the ENDIF at the end of the statement it invalidates the last line of code. If somebody knows how to fix this code or has a better way to do this I'm all ears.

Hey @nicktekippe, within the expression you're trying to apply numerical functions (like >=, = etc) to strings as you're wrapping the numbers in quotes. If you make sure that R12 IP is a numeric data type and then remove all of the quotes around the values you're checking like '0', '1', '60' then that should help.

@nicktekippe ,

Let's keep it simple....

IF
[R12 IP] = 0     THEN '0'     ELSEIF
[R12 IP] < 60    THEN '1'     ELSEIF
[R12 IP] <120    THEN '2'     ELSEIF
[R12 IP] <180    THEN '3'     ELSEIF
[R12 IP] <240    THEN '4'     ELSEIF
[R12 IP] <300    THEN '5'     ELSEIF
[R12 IP] <360    THEN '6'     ELSEIF
[R12 IP] <420    THEN '7'     ELSEIF
ELSE
'8'
ENDIF

Note:  This assumes that you've turned incoming data into NUMBER types.

Cheers,
