    Hi Anonymous  - 

     

    the right synthax is:

     

    (test1 as text)=>
let
    Source = if test1 = "yes" then "OK" else "Dang"
in
    Source

     

    for the other question, it depends on what else have in your query, is the function the only code?

This function would be called from another function. However, it is only this function I want to exit, and just return an error string. The parent function should continue to process and will just display the error.
