If Statement not working

Post by LisaPD » 19 Oct 2020, 10:10

Hi,

I have created a report to show customer discounts, which shows the Sales_Ledger_Discount_Type, but when I run the reports it shows the coded variable numbers 0 to 6, and I want it to show on the report as 'Discount A, B C etc.'

I have tried the following If Statement, within the Expression Editor of the Sales_Ledger_Discount_Type box, but it doesn't work. Could you let me know what I'm doing wrong?

SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = "0" ? "No Additional" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = "1" ? "Invoice Value" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = "2" ? "Discount A" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = "3" ? "Discount B" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = "4" ? "Discount C" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = "5" ? "Discount D" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = "6" ? "Discount E" : ""

Thank you

I can't check right now because I am away from my desk, but I think the issue could be the value yo are comparing to "1" is a bit of Text whereas 1 is a number.

Try this

Code: Select all

SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = 0 ? "No Additional" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = 1 ? "Invoice Value" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = 2 ? "Discount A" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = 3 ? "Discount B" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = 4 ? "Discount C" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = 5 ? "Discount D" : SALES_LEDGER.DISCOUNT_TYPE = 6 ? "Discount E" : ""
If it doesn't work let me know, I will be able to access sage later and can put your expression into the report designer and check it properly.

Hi Bruce,

That's worked! I'm really sorry, I'm sure I'd tried that too!

Thank you for your help.
