What can be the forumla for the below requirement:

 

The net ‘Amnt’  where the net equals any Atype containing GPP and CBB minus all others

 

  • I tried the below but I was told that it's backwards and adding +1

 

If Contains([Atype], "GPP","CBB") THEN  -1*[Amnt] +1
ELSE [Amnt] ENDIF

Hi @geeklarokcmie ,

 

If i undertood well, you need to use this formula:

 

IF [Atype] in ('GPP','CBB') then [Amnt]
ELSE -1*[Amnt] ENDIF

@Felipe_Ribeir0  Appreciate the response. Also, what would be forumla based on the below requirement:

 

The net ‘Amnt’  where all Atypes with exception of ‘CBB’ are additions. ((If CBB is negative number then everything should be positive number)

Hi @geeklarokcmie 

 

Adapting the first formula, it would be:

 

IF [Atype] in ('CBB') then -1*[Amnt]
ELSE [Amnt] ENDIF

 

If the provided answer helped you to solve the problem/was correct, please accept it as a solution :)

 

Thanks.

@Felipe_Ribeir0 When I used the forumla it is only providing with negative values - I need both positive and negative values to be the result
