Conditional column calculation (If-Then)
Hi,
I have two columns, where the majority of the data are the same, but there are a few entries in one column that are 0 and the correct amount is in one column and vice versa
My initial thought was to simply add the values into a new column, but that would double up the entries were same values were entered in. Is there a way to have it, so that if the first column is zero, it would show the second column, and vice versa? Maybe some sort of If-Then condition?
Hi There.
You can create a conditional column in Query Editor as shown in the screenshot.

In the query editor, you could add a new column as you mentioned populated with if-then, then you could remove the two columns as they would at this point no longer be necessary
I don't know of a way to do so without adding a new column, maybe someone else could help, and I could learn something too
hi there,
here's the formula for the new column:
= if [Oppty.Line.Grant Total.amount] = 0 then [Bid.GrandTotal]
else if [Bid.GrandTotal] = 0 then [Oppty.Line.Grant Total.amount]
else [Oppty.Line.Grant Total.amount]
hope this helps,
