Trim Right to pull back from a different column if there main column is empty

[Karl_Spratt]

Hi Community,

Looking for some help please I'm trying to pull back the country code from our route column if the country column for that SO line is blank (empty) 

My formula is 

IIF(isEmpty([Country]), TrimRight([Route], "2") but I'm getting an Error:

Formula (18): Parse Error at char(48): Malformed If Statement (Expression #3)  see attached 

Can someone please explain how I'd pull back  UA from this UA-140

TIA 

Karl.

Hey @Karl_Spratt ,

You need to include the false statement there or an additional parenthesis. Both are correct, it depends on what you are trying to do.

IIF(isEmpty([Country]), TrimRight([Route]), "2")

IIF(isEmpty([Country]), TrimRight([Route], "2"),"")

Best,

Editing my response. I just saw your image and since you are trying to get the first 2 characters, your expression needs to be like this.

IIF(isEmpty([Country]), left([Route], 2),[Country])
