OLE DB or ODBC error: Query (26,47) The syntax is incorrect

Hi, I have this
error in OLE DB or ODBC visuals: Query (26,47) The syntax is incorrect

calculated column: 

Tempo_reparo (horas paradas) = IF(OR(F_Indisponibilidade[unavailability_reason_text]="Indisponibilidade Motorista",OR(F_Indisponibilidade[unavailability_reason_text]="Preventiva",OR(F_Indisponibilidade[unavailability_reason_text]="Frota Legal",F_Indisponibilidade[unavailability_reason_text]="Sinistro"))), BLANK(),(DATEDIFF(F_Indisponibilidade[Inicio Indisponibilidade],F_Indisponibilidade[Fim Indisponibilidade],SECOND)/3600))


Column is Time_repair (MTTR_decimal).

Hi @wallace_santos 

 

The nested functions seem to be the source of complexity and potential error.
Maybe you can refactor it for clarity and correctness like this:

Tempo_reparo (horas paradas) =
IF (
    F_Indisponibilidade[unavailability_reason_text]
        IN { "Indisponibilidade Motorista", "Preventiva", "Frota Legal", "Sinistro" },
    BLANK (),
    (
        DATEDIFF (
            F_Indisponibilidade[Inicio Indisponibilidade],
            F_Indisponibilidade[Fim Indisponibilidade],
            SECOND
        ) / 3600
    )
)
