if statement

[AuditPro13]

Hi Family, 

Why wouldn't this work?

if [SEC Question] = "" or

if [SEC Question] = "None, the entity is neither an SEC registrant /FPI nor a Canadian Reporting Issuer."

then "Non-SEC"

else "SEC"

endif

There's an extra If in your statement

if [SEC Question] = "" or

[SEC Question] = "None, the entity is neither an SEC registrant /FPI nor a Canadian Reporting Issuer."

then "Non-SEC"

else "SEC"

endif

Cheers,

Hi @AuditPro13 

remove the second stated "if" and it should be okay.

to be :-

---------------

if [SEC Question] = "" or

[SEC Question] = "None, the entity is neither an SEC registrant /FPI nor a Canadian Reporting Issuer."

then "Non-SEC"

else "SEC"

endif

---------------

Regards,

Aidan

Thank you bruv!

For some reason its still not working though. Its returning all SEC when there are blanks (or [NULL]) and "None, the entity is neither an SEC registrant /FPI nor a Canadian Reporting Issuer."

Any clue what it could be?

Try

if IsEmpty(Trim([SEC Question])) or

[SEC Question] = "None, the entity is neither an SEC registrant /FPI nor a Canadian Reporting Issuer."

then "Non-SEC"

else "SEC"

endif

Getting closer!

The blanks are now showing Non-SEC but None, the entity is neither an SEC registrant /FPI nor a Canadian Reporting Issuer. is still showing SEC.

Any ideas?

The string is too long and probably there's a character mismatch.

I'd advise you to use keywords on this string and the function Contains instead of matching the full string.

Contains(SEC Question, "None"), for example
