Re: [MS_AccessPros] Nested IIF statement

 

obviously my example is not right either, because I don't see the logic of what you are doing -- a UDF might be just the ticket to unravel the mess

nope -- that is wrong. I see ",2" is for Left.

it might be good to make a user-defined function. Here is a video to do that:

It is not hard to write a custom function, and the code is much easier to get right ;) ~

or maybe just do a few Replaces and skip testing? Be sure the inner replace is the longest value, and so on ... something like this:

Replace(Replace( Replace(
[Temp9] & ""
,"NEW USER'S LOCATION INFO: USA-FRAC-FRA>>", "")
,"NEW USER'S LOCATION INFO: USA-FRA>>", "")
, "NEW USER'S REGION", "")

Perhaps [Temp9] could have a more logical name? I am assuming this is a query and [Temp9] is a fieldname, or calculated field name. Appended "" to it in case it is Null.

have an awesome day,

hi Brenda,

it looks like this:

)))),2)

should be this:

),2))))

... or so -- the last IIF needs a False argument -- then all the closing parentheses

I have looked at this statement too long and still can't figure it out.  I know it's something easy, but I just can't see it.  I get the error statement "The expression you entered has a function containing the wrong number of arguments."

This is my IIF statement:

UserState: Left(Trim(IIf([Temp10] Like "*NEW USER'S REGION*",
  Trim(Replace([Temp10],"NEW USER'S REGION:","")),
IIf([Temp9] Like "*NEW USER'S LOCATION INFO: USA-FRA*",
  Replace([Temp9],"NEW USER'S LOCATION INFO: USA-FRA>>","")),
IIf([Temp9] Like "*NEW USER'S LOCATION INFO: USA-FRAC-FRA*",
  Replace([Temp9],"NEW USER'S LOCATION INFO: USA-FRAC-FRA>>","")))),2)

Thanks for your help.
