Script syntax to continue on the next line

[hobanwashburne]

I have a large nested if statement and would like to format it as follows:

if(Branch = 991, 'Export',

if(Branch = 322, 'Export non Group',

if(Channel = 5, 'Sample Account',

...

if(Channel = 9, 'Legacy', 'Potential'))))) as AccountType,

Is there a character I can place at the end of a line (such as after 'Export', ) that indicates that the command is continued on the next line?

The carriage returns are ignored by the expression editor so you are good from a functional standpoint.

Is it merely to document the expression for another developer ?

your script already works in Qlik

Thank you both, I discovered the source of the error was an extra comma.

I'm re-scripting someone else's work who used VERY large nested if statements. I want to view the code like my example for my own understanding and hopefully find a better way of going about it.
