Re: If/Else Conditional in Function

Hi Shailaja,

thank you for your reply. I don't quite understand what you mean with the OR symbol.

I'm looking for a default function which does something like this.

if (<somedropdownField> = "Foo")
<someCalculatedField> = a*b*c
elseif (<somedropdownField> = "Bar")
<someCalculatedField> = b*c
else
<someCalculatedField> = 0

The default value of <someCaluclatedField> should be set based on the drop down value selected of <somedropdownField>. So that <someCalculatedField> automatically updates itself whenever any of the values in the eqution are changed.
Is there a way to access/set a fields - default value to an equation via code?

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
-Andreas

Hello Andreas Welcome to Forums,
Yes you can have an if/else statement in Xpath by using an OR symbol “|”. You can do that by giving this “my: myFields\my:Field1 | my:myFields\my:Field2” in function you want.

Hope this helps!

If/Else Conditional in Function

Hello,

is it possible to have an if/else statement in the functions for a field? In Xpath? How would I go about doing this?

I'm working on a costing sheet and a number of fields use different equations based on the value of a drop down.

Thanks,
-Andreas
