IF Statement

IF [Account Code] = "6410090" THEN [2018 E&P Adj]-[Current Balance] ELSE [2018 E&P Adj]+[Current Balance] ENDIF 

 

Please could you show me what's wrong with above IF formula.  I am getting "Invalid Type in Substraction Operator" Error.  I made sure all the components here are V_Wstring so not sure what's still wrong?

Hi @Palteryxgoal 

 

If you want to subtract numbers, they must be numerical field types (Int, Double, etc.). Unless you wrap your field name in ToNumber(), you can't subtract string fields.

 

Hope this helps!
