This is the case, I don't think whether you need MaxString(). Why not simply IF condition without MaxString() function

Where exactly are you using Y, N? on which field I mean?

The Y,N is the alg-stat

sorry how will the if command look like?

But you are testing for values such as GLUT, EGG against alg-stat? Does it contain both?

My intention is this?

Load Distinct [p-code],

[alg-code],

If(Match([alg-code],'GLUT','EGG','CRUS'), 'Y', 'N') as Flag

the data looks like this on Database, where Y,N are Alg-stat,

so what i need to achieve is where Y i need it to say Egg and N to be blank. This is just for the Egg Alg-code

May be this?

Load Distinct [p-code], If([Alg-code]='Y', 'Egg', 'Blank') as Egg;
