if statement

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

Thank you again! Hope you have a wonderful weekend Thableaus.
