IF Statements to Quote Different Columns

Hi There.

 

I am sure I am making this more complicated than I need to, but its been a long Monday!  What I need to do is to say:

 

IsEmpty([Issue Plan ID]) = [Issue Owner Email] or !IsEmpty([Issue Plan ID]) = [Business Emails]  Endif

 

So, if Issue Plan ID is empty (or null) then I want to have the Email address from column 'Issue Owner Email' pulled in for everything else I want the data from Column 'Business Emails' pulled in.

 

Any help of any nature would be very much welcome!  Thanks all

Hi @JTB76 

 

Your formula should be something like this.

 

 

IF IsEmpty([Issue Plan ID]) 
THEN [Issue Owner Email] 
ELSEIF !IsEmpty([Issue Plan ID]) 
THEN [Business Emails] ELSE Null() ENDIF

 

or simply

 

IF IsEmpty([Issue Plan ID]) 
THEN [Issue Owner Email] 
ELSE [Business Emails] ENDIF

 

 

You can use Mult-Field formula tool to apply on multiple columns too.

Hope this helps 🙂
