If statement arrow

hi,

I'm trying to write a statement that says =if(sum(Budget) > sum(Actual), 'qmem://Arrow/GreenUp',if(sum(Budget)<sum(Actual),'qmem://Arrow/RedDown'). It is not working and I'm not sure what is wrong with the syntax. Does anyone know?

Thank you!

I have updated the previous Expression, as I had written it wrong sorry

=if(sum(Budget) > sum(Actual),Red(),Green())

Hi ,

I think your syntex is right check your compared values.

Else

Try this

EX: =if(sum(Budget) > sum(Actual),'qmem://Arrow/GreenUp','qmem://Arrow/RedDown')

This does not work. I get a text box with the formula in it. Any other ideas would be very helpful!

Hi,

I think your load qmem file error so check the below syntex.

Ex: if(sum(Budget) > sum(Actual),'Yes','No')

But that would not get me to an up or a down arrow as the output, correct? How would I address the qmem file error?

Hi

I think the following will work better

if(sum(Budget) > sum(Actual),'qmem://<bundled>/BuiltIn/arrow_s_r.png','qmem://<bundled>/BuiltIn/arrow_n_g.png'))

and make sure the representation is Image

Try this:

=RangeOnly(if(GetCurrentSelections() & Budget > Actual, 'qmem://Arrow/GreenUp','qmem://Arrow/RedDown')).

this works in that I get a green arrow but I want the arrow that looks like just a triangle (without a stem).. is there a way to use this code to get that kind of arrow? Thanks! (and sorry for being picky...)

This gives me a "-" ... no arrow for now!
