Conditional IF function in calculated field

[Anonymous]

Trying to create a field based on conditional information, however when I use the conditional "If" function, I receive the error that "=" is an unrecognized symbol (see attachment).  I have no issues creating similar fields in Tableau and Crystal, so not sure what I am doing wrong in Qlik (this is my first time using Qlik, so I am totally new with this product)

If(PmtMessageCat=5,PmtMessageCat​) will be more appropriate.

or

If(PmtMessageCat='5',1,0​)

Try this,

if(yourAge>='25','Youth','Teen')

Try this

If ( match ( [Pmt Message Category 1], '5' ) , 1, 0 )

Unfortunately I still get the error message that the equals symbol is not recognized, thank you though!
