how to use if then else statement to create new column?

Hi, how should the script be like if I want a column 'before 10am' to be 1 if the column 'time' is >=10:00:00, else it will be 0? Thanks.

Hi Rachel,

you could use this expression:

if(hour([timefield]) < 10, 1, 0) as [before 10 am]

Try this in the script

If(Your_Column_Name<10:00:00 ,1, 0) as New_Column

Make sure you give the Appropriate date format in the condition above,

Hope this helps you.

Please check whether the date format is appropriate or not.

if you are writing if condition in preceding load make sure you put semicolon at the end.

Eg:

Load *, if(condition) as New_Column;

Load

A,

B,

C

From <Path>

Or else post your script in which you need the condition.

i think this will work:

if(Time(YourField)<MakeTime(10),1,0)

This is my script:

LOAD * INLINE [

    Before 10am,

];

if([Time])<10:00:00,1,0) as [Before 10am];

The underlined colon after '10' has error. Thanks.

Hey thanks for your answer, but the comma after (10) has error.

Try this

LOAD *, if(Hour(Timestamp(Time,'hh:mm:ss'))<10,1,0) as before10am;

LOAD * Inline [

Time

10:00:00,

11:00:00,

9:00:00

];

This should work
