Nested If statement evaluating variable values

cliff_clayman — Wed, 04 Jan 2017 17:34:05 GMT

I have an expression that is evaluating two variable values and giving a up or down arrow based on the outcome. I need to add another check to this expression to test for another value of a variable. It is basically an If Then Else, but I'm not sure how to write it and/if there is a cleaner way to do it.

Current Expression:

If(vCY>vLY, chr(9650),chr(9660))

Added Variable Check:

If((vFlag) = 'Yes'

Added Expression for above value of 'No':

If(vPrjCY>vPrjLY, chr(9650),chr(9660))

What happens when vFlag = 'Yes'? May be something along these lines

If(vFlag = 'Yes', SomeExpressionOrValue,

If(vPrjCY>vPrjLY, chr(9650),chr(9660)))

If the vFlag = 'Yes', then the current expression is used.

May be this:

If(vFlag = 'Yes',

If(vCY>vLY, Chr(9650), Chr(9660)),

If(vPrjCY>vPrjLY, Chr(9650), Chr(9660)))
