If statements

[#1]

Hi everyone,

I am a finance and IT intern, and am new to Qlikview. I have no experience in coding b/c I only finished my freshman year of college in May. One of my projects is to use Qlikview to display data regarding our Accounts Receivable and AR days. I work for an insurance provider and we have to track dozens of payors and the money they owe us, and how long they have owed us a certain amount of money. Right now, I am pulling in the raw data from a database.

There are currently the following time buckets for accounts receivable:

0-30 days

31-60 days

61-90 days

91-120 days

121-150 days

151-180 days

181 & up days

We also have raw data that shows the amount of 'days' each AR has been active, and I want to group them as specified above.

Each 'time bucket' is listed as a separate dimension, and I want to combine them all into one dimension titled "Time_Bucket". That way, when I want to make graphs and charts, I can select "Time_Bucket", rather than all the separate time buckets.

  The following is what I have developed so far, but I must be doing something incorrectly b/c there are errors reloading the data:

if( line_item_age >=0 and

<=30, '0-30',
if( line_item_age >=30 and <=60, '0-60',
if( line_item_age >=61 and <=90, '61-90',
if( line_item_age >=91 and <=120, '91-120',
if( line_item_age >=121 and <=150, '121-150'
if( line_item_age >=151 and <=180, '151-180'
if( line_item_age >=181, '181 up'))))))), 'Time_Bucket',

(below is the error message I receive):

**If someone could please help me figure how to do this, or at least guide me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated, thanks!

Try something like

if( line_item_age >=0 and
line_item_age <=30, '0-30',
if( line_item_age <=60, '31-60',
if( line_item_age <=90, '61-90',
if( line_item_age <=120, '91-120',
if( line_item_age  <=150, '121-150'
if( line_item_age <=180, '151-180'
,'181 up' )))))) as [Time_Bucket],

Thank you that worked well!
