Filter tool Malformed if statment

CherieACI

I have several columns of data and I'm trying filter out if each column of the line has all zeros but I'm getting a malformed if statement parse error. Column headings = 

F CL Begin Bal PTDF CL Additions PTDF CL Releases PTDF CL Ending Bal

 

Filter tool: If statement = If [F CL Begin Bal PTD] = 0 AND [F CL Additions PTD] = 0 AND [F CL Releases PTD] = 0 AND [F CL Ending Bal] = 0

 

I'm sure I'm missing something at the end but not sure what that is. 

Thanks!

Hi @CherieACI 

 

Just try

 

 

[F CL Begin Bal PTD] = 0 AND [F CL Additions PTD] = 0 AND [F CL Releases PTD] = 0 AND 
[F CL Ending Bal] = 0

 

 

and check

 

Adding brackets is also good idea.

([F CL Begin Bal PTD] = 0) AND ([F CL Additions PTD] = 0) AND ([F CL Releases PTD] = 0) 
AND ([F CL Ending Bal] = 0)

 

You dont need if statement in filter tool

 

Hope this helps 🙂

Actually, my output now only has zeros. I wanted everything but the zeros! Doesn't the filter mean it removes what you are stating?

Hi @CherieACI 

 

Change equal(=) to not equal(!=) like below

 

[F CL Begin Bal PTD] != 0 AND [F CL Additions PTD] != 0 AND [F CL Releases PTD] != 0 AND 
[F CL Ending Bal] != 0
