hi

what are trying to achieve?

what is [Reporting Starts] ? and what is it's format ?

try to replace the condition by somethin more simple in oorder to bbe sure that the rest of the expression is working .

exemple : if (1=1,....         if (1=0,.....

then, why the expression is between quotes ?

hi,

i have a bar chart which shows the amount spend/video views ratio for the given days. i want multiply some days with 3 and and some days with 4.

[Report Starts] is in date format (YYYY-MM-DD)

i figured it out when i simplified the expression;

IF ([Reporting Starts] <= date#('2016-02-26','YYYY-MM-DD'), Avg([cost per view1])*3, Avg([cost per view1])*4.4)

thanks for your help
