IF Statement / Solution to my task

Hello All!

 

I am trying to perform a lookup between two datasets and I think the IF function is what I am looking for; but I'm unsure.

 

Task:

My first data set contains names of employees terminated from Company X.

The second data set contains names of employees hired at Company X.

 

Thus, I am trying to compare to see if an employee was terminated and re-hired in the same year (i.e. name = right_name) and term date < hire date.

 

This is what I have put in to the multi-field formula tool, but its not working:

 

IF [IGG] == [Right_IGG] &&
IF [Termination Dt] < [Right_Eff date]
THEN "false positive"
ELSE "true term"
ENDIF

 

If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated (:

Hi @madslawton3 

 

IF [IGG] = [Right_IGG] AND [Termination Dt] < [Right_Eff date]
THEN "false positive"
ELSE "true term"
ENDIF

 

Would this work?

It keeps popping up an error that says "at least one field must be selected". Not sure why that's happening

Use a Formula Tool instead of a Multi-Field formula Tool.
