Having trouble with WildMatch

timsaddler — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 16:03:07 GMT

Hi all

this may be a brain freeze so apologies in advance...

having some trouble with comparing fields where i need to add up the number of errors

the fields are CPA_ContractNumber and #WAURRF#field (see screenshot)

i want to report the errors as zero if the fields match

I was hoping wildmatch would do it but it reports 1

thanks

If(WildMatch(CPA_ContractNumber,#WAURRF#field = 1),0,1)

So the wildmatch function is used to compare the first parameter to a range of values. If I understand the question correctly, you just want to compare CPA_ContractNumber to the #WAURRF#field on the same record, which you should be able to do with:

If(CPA_ContractNumber = #WAURRF#field, 0, 1)
