Multiple IF Statement with Multiple AND Statement

HI Alteryx Community,

 

I'm having difficulty when combining IF statement with multiple AND. 

 

Here is my current statements with the incorrect results:

 

IF [Brand] = "EDU" AND
[Brand] = "LOG" AND
[Brand] = "PSW" AND
[Brand] = "PSMW" AND
[Brand] = "PSMC" AND

[COS] =0
THEN [Sales] + [COS]
ELSE ([Total Sales]*[COS])/[Total COS] ENDIF

 

The default is correctly calculated.

Hi @quims ,

 

As you have a column containing multiple values that you're looking to test, I would suggest that you use the 'IN' function like so:

 

IF [BRAND] in ("EDU", "LOG", "PSW", "PSMW", "PSMC") AND [cos] = 0 THEN ... 

 

This way it is one column with multiple checks for values.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Dane.

Sorry but the [cos] = 0 is only taking effect for the formula [Revenue] + [Expense]

Hi @quims ,

 

I think the problem is connecting the conditions using "AND" - currently the IF-clause is only true, if [Brand] is e.g. both "EDU" and "LOG" - and one of the conditions will not be true (it's "EDU" or "LOG" or ...). 

IF [Brand] = "EDU" OR [Brand] = "LOG" OR [Brand] = "PSW" OR [Brand] = "PSMW" OR [Brand] = "PSMC" OR [COS] = 0 THEN
[Sales] + [COS]
ELSE

([Total Sales]*[COS])/[Total COS]

ENDIF

 

A shorter version would be:

IF [Brand] IN ("EDU", "LOG", "PSW", "PSMW", "PSMC")  OR [COS] = 0 THEN
[Sales] + [COS]
ELSE

([Total Sales]*[COS])/[Total COS]

ENDIF

 

Hope this is helpful.

 

Best,

 

Roland
