Good day,

I am trying to do nest IF Statement for the style based on the results.  I have a syntax issue which I can seem to resolve.  

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  I have work on a couple of hours now. 

Thank you.


=IIf(DateDiff('d',[SOOrder.RequestDate],[SOOrderShipment.ShipDate])=0,'Green60'), IIf(DateDiff('d',[SOOrder.RequestDate],[SOOrderShipment.ShipDate])=1,'yellow60'),IIf(DateDiff('d',[SOOrder.RequestDate],[SOOrderShipment.ShipDate])='-1','yellow60'),IIf(DateDiff('d',[SOOrder.RequestDate],[SOOrderShipment.ShipDate])=>2,'red60'),IIf(DateDiff('d',[SOOrder.RequestDate],[SOOrderShipment.ShipDate])=>-2,'red60')

I took a look, style names are case sensitive so this should work.  In the previous version we used capitalized color names.  For example in the last formula we used ‘Green60’, in this version we use ‘green60’

=Switch(
    DateDiff('d', [SOOrder.RequestDate], [SOOrderShipment.ShipDate]) = 0, 'green60',
    DateDiff('d', [SOOrder.RequestDate], [SOOrderShipment.ShipDate]) = 1, 'yellow60',
    DateDiff('d', [SOOrder.RequestDate], [SOOrderShipment.ShipDate]) = -1, 'yellow60',
    DateDiff('d', [SOOrder.RequestDate], [SOOrderShipment.ShipDate]) >= 2, 'red60',
    DateDiff('d', [SOOrder.RequestDate], [SOOrderShipment.ShipDate]) <= -2, 'red60',
    1=1, 'default'
)

    You are comparing an integer value to a string. 

    =IIf(DateDiff('d',[SOOrder.RequestDate],[SOOrderShipment.ShipDate])=0,'Green60'), IIf(DateDiff('d',[SOOrder.RequestDate],[SOOrderShipment.ShipDate])=1,'yellow60'),IIf(DateDiff('d',[SOOrder.RequestDate],[SOOrderShipment.ShipDate])='-1','yellow60'),IIf(DateDiff('d',[SOOrder.RequestDate],[SOOrderShipment.ShipDate])=>2,'red60'),IIf(DateDiff('d',[SOOrder.RequestDate],[SOOrderShipment.ShipDate])=>-2,'red60')

     

    Removing the single quotes around -1 should solve the issue.

    Hi Robert,

    I removed the quotes (see below).  It still has a syntax error.

    What else?  Do I need add ‘Default’ to each IIF statements.

    @Robert Sternberg Thank you.

    Try this, it might make things more clear if you ever need to come back and make adjustments. 

     

    =Switch(
        DateDiff('d', [SOOrder.RequestDate], [SOOrderShipment.ShipDate]) = 0, 'Green60',
        DateDiff('d', [SOOrder.RequestDate], [SOOrderShipment.ShipDate]) = 1, 'Yellow60',
        DateDiff('d', [SOOrder.RequestDate], [SOOrderShipment.ShipDate]) = -1, 'Yellow60',
        DateDiff('d', [SOOrder.RequestDate], [SOOrderShipment.ShipDate]) >= 2, 'Red60',
        DateDiff('d', [SOOrder.RequestDate], [SOOrderShipment.ShipDate]) <= -2, 'Red60',
        1=1, 'Default'
    )

    HI @Robert Sternberg 

    I appreciate your assistance.  Your suggestion passed validation however, it did not change the color.

    I have attached the GI.  Any other suggestions. It is something with my formula?  I used the CInt function.

    Here is how it looks now?

     

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Evan
