IF then statement

[IanWaterman]

Place the field {V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} alongside title and see what happens. Its probably blank.

Where is Title formula located? If in header it will be first record only.

Ian

 

[lthomas6]

No it is not blank, it is pulling the value.

THis is located in the Group Header which is filtered on {V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE}

 

[IanWaterman]

So when you place formula in group header, its shows

Statistical Overview of Proceedings

And you are grouping on
{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE}

[lthomas6]

To answer your question:

So when you place formula in group header, its shows Statistical Overview of Proceedings = Yes

And you are grouping on{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} = YES

Please note the formula is called RecordTypeDesc and it equals =
IF {?Disciplinary} = True or {?AMEX} = True or {?ARB} = True or {?DFC} = True or {?EQS} = True or {?FPI} = Trueor {?FR} = True or {?PCS} = True or {?Summary} = True or {?ISE} = Trueor {?NYSE} = Trueor {?ARCA} = Trueor {?OTCBB} = Trueor {?AMEX/NYSE} = True then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings"else "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE}

so if the parameter for Disciplinary is checked (equals True) it sets it correctly to display "Statistical Overview of Disciplinary Proceedings" and all the other above. ie If parameter for Amex is checked (equals true) it displays "Statistical Overview of AMEX Proceedings". this is good.
The problem arises for the last two parameters which are NYSE cases and Expedited Cases. For these it should only display as "Statistical Overview of NYSE Cases" and Statistical Overview of Expedited Cases" respectively. It should not have "Proceedings" at the end, but it does.

 

[IanWaterman]

I would change formula to be more explicit

IF {?Disciplinary} = True
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings"
else

if {?AMEX} = True
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings"

else etc

else
if conditions for
"Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE}

[lthomas6]

I already tried that and no luck:
IF {?Disciplinary} = True then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if
{?AMEX} = True then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if {?ARB} = True then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" Else if {?DFC} = True then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings"
else if {?EQS} = True then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if {?FPI} = True
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if {?FR} = True then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if {?PCS} = True
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if {?Summary} = True
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if
{?ISE} = True
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if {?NYSE} = True
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if {?ARCA} = True
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if
{?OTCBB} = True
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if {?AMEX/NYSE} = True
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings" else if {?NYSE Cases} = True
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} else if
{?Expedited Cases} then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE

Hi,
I am a little confuesd by this statement:

The problem arises for the last two parameters which are NYSE cases and Expedited Cases. For these it should only display as "Statistical Overview of NYSE Cases" and Statistical Overview of Expedited Cases" respectively. It should not have "Proceedings" at the end, but it does.

since in your code if NYSE is checked it 'tells' it to add the 'Proceedings' at the end.

or {?AMEX/NYSE} = True 
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings"

Is there any way the more than 1 value can be true?

[IanWaterman]

The other question is why do you have so many parameters.

Trying to get so many boolean params to work together is notoriously difficult.

Why not have a single parameter with multiple selections and set for multi value.

Ian

 

[lthomas6]

1. The below is not referring to NYSE Cases or Expedited Cases. the prompts for these are {?NYSE Cases} or {?Expedited Cases} respectively.

{?AMEX/NYSE} = True then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings"

In the filtering, I am using below and this should be right:

if {?NYSE Cases} = True then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} else if {?Expedited Cases} then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE


2.We have to have so many paramters since each is a checkbox question the report should prompt the user with. So in other words, it is a report requirement. It pulls the data fine it is only a problem with the correct title reading.

 

[Turkbear]

Hi,
It should not be needed but try explicit parens to isolate the
IF from the ELSE

IF (
{?Disciplinary} = True 
or {?AMEX} = True 
or {?ARB} = True 
or {?DFC} = True 
or {?EQS} = True 
or {?FPI} = True
or {?FR} = True 
or {?PCS} = True 
or {?Summary} = True 
or {?ISE} = True
or {?NYSE} = True
or {?ARCA} = True
or {?OTCBB} = True
or {?AMEX/NYSE} = True 
)
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings"
else "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE}

To Paraphrase:"The Help you get is proportional to the Help you give.."

 

[SkipVought]

BTW,
[tt]
{?Disciplinary} = True
[/tt]
and
[tt]
{?Disciplinary}
[/tt]
have the same logical result.

Skip,

Just traded in my old subtlety...
for a NUANCE![/sub]

 

[lthomas6]

In my case not sure if {?Disciplinary} = True and{?Disciplinary} will have same logical result since each of the parameters is set to a boolean.
ie. the prompt {?Disciplinary} is type of boolean where the values are either True (if checked) or False (if not checked).

I tried the explicit parans and no luck.

 

[lthomas6]

I figured it out. instead of going to prompts, I pulled directly from the source using the below and it works fine now.

If {V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} = 'NYSE Cases' or {V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} ='Expedited Cases'
then "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE}
else "Statistical Overview of " +{V_CUSTOM_RECTYPES_FILTERED.RECORDTYPE} + " Proceedings
