Hello I am getting a 'Token Eof Expected' Error when trying to use a nested if statement with Text.Contains function.
if Text.Contains([Status],"A") then "A"
else
Text.Contains([Status],"B") then "B"
else
"C"
So here I am trying to get 'A' if 'A' is present, then 'B' id 'B' is present or 'C' for anything else in the string. Here 'Status' is my list/column.
PowerQuery is highlighting the second then as the problem.
On the other hand the below code works perfectly.
if Text.Contains([Status],"A") then "A"
else "B"
I was able to go around this problem by using 3 additional steps.
1st Step
if Text.Contains([Status],"A") then "A" else null
Outputs a column with name 'Status1'
2nd Step
if Text.Contains([Status],"B") then "B" else "C"
Outputs a column with name 'Status2'
3rd Step
if [Status1] = null then [Status2] else [Status1]
It gets the job done but it is not elegant.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Except for the final condition, you need to repeat if after else:
if Text.Contains([Status], "A") then
"A"
else if Text.Contains([Status], "B") then
"B"
else
"C"

hello everyone I'm here and needs help with excel
message from excel is
(you've entered too many arguments for this function)
and that my function.
=IF(AND(H2="A","B"),"group 1",IF(AND(N2H2="C","D"),"group 2",""))
please any one can help ?
The first condition to test within the IF statement "AND(H2="A","B")" will always return false - as this tests "Is H2 = "A" ? AND "Is '"B"'?
H2 cannot equal "A" and "B" simultaneously, and besides, even if you wanted to test that you'd have to use "AND(H2="A", H2="B").
Imagine someone asking you the Q "Is H2 = "A"?"
You could answer this if you knew what was in cell H2 (like Excel does) - and you could answer 'True' (yes) or 'False' (no).
But if you were asked is "B" as well? you would probably be quite puzzled - perhaps you would reply "Is "B" what as well"?
Excel would also be puzzled and in such circumstances the default response is 'False' (until proven otherwise!)
The 2nd AND statement is the wrong syntax - see here for some examples of how to use the AND statement.
This is probably why you are seeing the error you see - again:
If someone asked you "Is N2H2="C" and is "B" as well?
You wouldn't know which cell I was referring to (N2H2 does not exist in Excel)
Further, you wouldn't know what to say to "Is "B"?" (Is it a consonent? Is it capital? Is it the 2nd letter of the alphabet? Is it what?
Using this equation Excel will not return an error "too many arguments", it will return "invalid name error" (because there is no such thing as "N2H2" as far as Excel is concerned")
You need to use the following generic syntax for AND statements of this type:
AND(cell 1=some value1, cell 2= some value2) - not AND(cell1cell2=some value1, some value2)
i.e. this would be correct syntax:
=IF(AND(H2="A",N2="B"),"group 1",IF(AND(H2="D",N2="C"),"group 2",""))
(but it assumes you are trying to test cell N2 = B in the first AND statement because it's impossible for cell H2 to equal both A and B at the same time as I've said above)
As someone has pointed out in the comments - if you're testing whether H2 can be "A" OR "B" then simply use the OR statement - i.e. something like this:
=IF(OR(H2="A",H2="B"),"group 1",IF(AND(H2="D",N2="C"),"group 2",""))

My dataset looks like this:
I am looking for a formula to add to the column "Status" to do the following:
If Name = "A" and Project = "TT" and Number > 5, write "PASS" otherwise write "FAIL"
If Name = "A" and Project = "NN" and Number > 10, write "PASS" otherwise write "FAIL"
If Name = "B" and Project = "TT" and Number > 20, write "PASS" otherwise write "FAIL"
I struggle puting together something that works with "IF" and "OR".
Would anyone be able to offer a simple solution?
Breaking this into parts:
AND(A2="A",B2="TT",C2>5)
AND(A2="A",B2="NN",C2>10)
AND(A2="B",B2="TT",C2>20)
Then using OR:
=IF(OR(AND(A2="A",B2="TT",C2>5),AND(A2="A",B2="NN",C2>10),AND(A2="B",B2="TT",C2>20)),"PASS","FAIL")
I'm very new in using Cognos report studio and trying to filter some of the values and replace them into others.
I currently have values that are coming out as blanks and want to replace them as string "Property Claims"
what i'm trying to use in my main query is
CASE WHEN [Portfolio] is null
then 'Property Claims'
ELSE [Portfolio]
which is giving me an error. Also have a different filter i want to put in to replace windscreen flags to a string value rather than a number. For example if the flag is 1 i want to place it as 'Windscreen Claims'.
if [Claim Windscreen Flag] = 1
then ('Windscreen')
Else [Claim Windscreen Flag]
None of this works with the same error....can someone give me a hand?
Your first CASE statement is missing the END. The error message should be pretty clear. But there is a simpler way to do that:
coalesce([Portfolio], 'Property Claims')
The second problem is similar: Your IF...THEN...ELSE statement is missing a bunch of parentheses. But after correcting that you may have problems with incompatible data types. You may need to cast the numbers to strings:
case
when [Claim Windscreen Flag] = 1 then ('Windscreen')
else cast([Claim Windscreen Flag], varchar(50))
end
In future, please include the error messages.
it might be syntax
IS NULL (instead of = null)
NULL is not blank. You might also want = ' '
case might need an else and END at the bottom
referring to a data type as something else can cause errors. For example a numeric like [Sales] = 'Jane Doe'
For example (assuming the result is a string and data item 2 is also a string),
case
when([data item 1] IS NULL)Then('X')
when([data item 1] = ' ')Then('X')
else([data item 2])
end
Also, if you want to show a data item as a different type, you can use CAST
I currently have two separate saved search columns for these two statements, and I'm hoping to combine them and list the data in just one column. I've tried OR AND, but the results then error out.
First Statement
Case when {item.custitem54} is null then {quantity} else null end
Second Statement
Case when {item.custitem54} = 'Yes' and {shipdate} between to_date('05/25/2020', 'MM/DD/YYYY') and to_date('12/25/2020', 'MM/DD/YYYY') then {quantity} else null end
You can have multiple WHEN in a case statement. The first matched WHEN determines the result unless it gets to the ELSE.
Case when {item.custitem54} = 'Yes'
and {shipdate} between date '2020-05-25' and date '2020-12-25' then {quantity}
when {item.custitem54} is null then {quantity}
else null
end
Good Day Everyone,
There is this something i've been trying to exercise in abap and that is the Displaying of column datas in ALV by retrieving the values from excel file into an internal table. I've been trying to debug my program for quite some time now and i can't seem to solve the error it's been stating which is "Field symbol has not yet been assigned" please guide me. I already made some research on how to solve this short dump error but most of the other issues posted on the net is selected from some specific table with column fields. I was just wondering that maybe my case is a little bit different from others.
The function that retrieved the values from excel is properly working and i have no problem at all in displaying them.Below is the code i constructed.

Any tips, tricks and advice in my program would be highly sought. Thanks in Advance
You're using a type which is not defined in the data dictionary. This requires a different approach when creating the ALV fieldcat. Try this:
l_wa_fcat-fieldname = 'COL1'.
l_wa_fcat-inttype = 'C'.
l_wa_fcat-outputlen = '30'.
l_wa_fcat-text_fieldname = 'Column 1'.
l_wa_fcat-seltext_s = 'Column 1'.
Also make sure you enter the fieldname value with capitalized letters.
I'm no ABAP expert but I noticed 2 things in the code you posted:
you said the error is "Field symbol has not yet been assigned" but you have no field symbol in your code. Maybe it's used inside one of the function modules you call. If so, try to post the code where the error pops up;
you use gt_tab[] which, if I remember well, is the way to access the body of an internal table with header line. In your code gt_tab is not an internal table with header line, but you use it to store one with function 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP' ;
Try to post the code where the error is being generated.

Sergiu
