Dear All,

plz help to generate this new column
try like this
Load if(len(trim(currency_conerted_amount))=0,invoice_ amount,currency_conerted_amount ) as newColumn
For questions like this it would be great to know if you are looking for a script solution or a chart object solution.
A simple sample document with a few lines of data will also make it a lot easier for someone to provide a suggestion that fits your purpose.
"currency_conerted_amount" or "currency_converted_amount"?
Try this (assuming you want this new column created in your load script):
:
IF (IsNull(currency_conerted_amount), invoice_amount, currency_conerted_amount) AS third_amount,
:
or
:
Alt(currency_conerted_amount, invoice_amount) AS third_amount,
:
This will handle only NULL values (as per your specification), not zero or blank amounts...
Best,
Peter
Alt() will handle blank amounts as well as NULL.
ISNULL() will only work with NULL,
Sorry, yes you're right, Jonathan. Alt() will handle everything that doesn't look like a number. Even text strings...
Thanks, Peter
