Hello
I have the following code in a nested if statment format
if GetVar("BU") = "UK" and [Cost Centre] >= 17000 and [Cost Centre] < 10826 then "EUR"
else if GetVar("BU") = "UK" and [Payment Currency Code] = null
then "GBP"
else if GetVar("BU") = "LM" and [Legal Entity] = "aaaaa" then "USD"
else if GetVar("BU") = "LM" and [Legal Entity] = "bbbbb" then "USD"
else if GetVar("BU") = "LM" and [Legal Entity] = "ccccc" then "GBP"
else if GetVar("BU") = "LM" and [Legal Entity] = "ddddd" then "GBP"
else if GetVar("BU") = "LM" and [Payment Currency Code] = null then "USD"
else [Payment Currency Code]
I am wondering if there is a faster way to write this in M code. I mean faster at execution time.
Thank you
Stuart
Solved! Go to Solution.
replace your if conditions with the below code
if GetVar("BU") = "UK" then
if [Cost Centre] >= 17000 and [Cost Centre] < 10826 then "EUR"
else if [Payment Currency Code] = null then "GBP"
else [Payment Currency Code]
else if GetVar("BU") = "LM" then
if [Legal Entity] = "aaaaa" or [Legal Entity] = "bbbbb" then "USD"
else if [Legal Entity] = "ccccc" or [Legal Entity] = "ddddd" then "GBP"
else if [Payment Currency Code] = null then "USD"
else [Payment Currency Code]
else
[Payment Currency Code]
in the if using and/or will evaluate every time but replaced them by a nested if can increase the efficiency.
another tips which is related to the data structure, use the condition wich can filter more rows in the first condition series.

Thank you to all replies.

calculate GetVar("BU") beforehand
Use List.Contains()
