Multi-Row formula malformed function call

alexg1

Hello all,

 

I've been trying to apply some conditional logic to some records to update a preexisting 1/0 true/false field. I've written the following expression:

 

IF findstring([DEPART/ARRIVE],substring([DEPART/ARRIVE],1,6)=substring([Row-1:DEPART/ARRIVE],1,6)

AND [DATE]=[Row-1:DATE]

AND [Unique Stops] = 1

THEN 0

ELSE [Unique Stops]

ENDIF

 

I get a malformed function call at the 'THEN' clause, but I can't seem to determine why. Any assistance is appreciated.

 

Thank you,

 

Alex

Hi @alexg1 

 

You're missing a parenthesis after the 1st substring function.

 

IF findstring([DEPART/ARRIVE],substring([DEPART/ARRIVE],1,6))=substring([Row-1:DEPART/ARRIVE],1,6)

AND [DATE]=[Row-1:DATE]

AND [Unique Stops] = 1

THEN 0

ELSE [Unique Stops]

ENDIF

 

 

Cheers,
