IF Statement Structure

asked on October 6, 2017 • Show version history

Hello All,

 

For number fields, under the Advanced Tab the section to enter a formula includes an IF() statement.  Is there a document that outlines the structure that the function takes?  For example if I am checking if a equals b, would it be a=b or does it follow the Java structure of a==b?

The former. Laserfiche Forms calculations are based on the OpenFormula standard (e.g. Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets).

For example - if A equals B, return a 1, otherwise return a 2  - would look as follows:

=IF(A=B,1,2)

Please advise on below

 if A equals B, return a 1, if C equals D, return a 2, if E equals F, return a 3

What would be the IF conditional statement.

 

Thanks

Arvind

IF ( A = B, ANSWER IF TRUE, ANSWER IF FALSE )

To achieve what you want, you need to nest.

IF (A = B, TRUE, IF (C = D, TRUE, FALSE)) etc

So in your example this should work (returning zero if all conditions are false):

IF( A=B, "1", IF( C=D, "2", IF( E=F, "3", "0") ) )
