Help Consolidate Formula

[byrne1]

Is there a way that I can consolidate the following short formula? I'm running CR 7.0


if {?VendorName}='' then
if {?BridalItem}='N' then
{ITMDESCR.Description1} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*'
else
{ITMDESCR.Description1} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*' and
({ITEM.WebItemFlag}='Y' or {ITEM.WebItemFlag}='Y')
else
if {?BridalItem}='N' then
{ITMDESCR.Description1} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*' and
{VENDOR.Name} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*'
else
{ITMDESCR.Description1} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*' and
{VENDOR.Name} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*' and
({ITEM.WebIte

What do you mean by 'consolidate'? Also the last line of your code does not appear to be complete.

I just mean is there a way to make this formula more concise than it is.

BTW, the correct formula is:

if {?VendorName}='' then
if {?BridalItem}='N' then
{ITMDESCR.Description1} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*'
else
{ITMDESCR.Description1} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*' and
({ITEM.WebItemFlag}='Y' or {ITEM.WebItemFlag}='Y')
else
if {?BridalItem}='N' then
{ITMDESCR.Description1} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*' and
{VENDOR.Name} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*'
else
{ITMDESCR.Description1} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*' and
{VENDOR.Name} like '*'+{?Pattern}+'*' and
({ITEM.WebItemFlag}='Y' or {ITEM.WebItemFlag}='Y')
