Hi,
I have the formula shown below. I need to add one more condition, but I am struggling to figure this out. With the formula below (which does work well), I want to modify the formula so that IF [Note Pmt Sched Total Amount] - [Note Pmt Sched Escrow Amount] is less than 0.01, then “test”
If [Note Bill Type Code] InList (“B”;“C”) And [Note Pmt Sched Type Code] InList (“A”;“B”;“C”;“D”;“E”;“F”;“G”;“J”) Then [Query 1 with LoanDly].[Note Pmt Sched Total Amount] - [Note Pmt Sched Escrow Amount] ElseIf
It’s almost like I need an ‘unless’ formula, but I don’t think that exists. I guess another way of putting it would be…Then [Query 1 with LoanDly].[Note Pmt Sched Total Amount] - [Note Pmt Sched Escrow Amount] UNLESS < 0.01 THEN “test”
Any ideas?
Actually, let’s do this, here is a better/clear/easier example of what I want:
In this formula below, how can I modify to say that IF THE RESULT OF [BILLING PRINCIPAL INTEREST AMOUNT]/2 IS NULL THEN and do a different calculation here?
=If [Note Bill Type Code] = “A” Then ([Billing Principal Interest Amount]/2) ElseIf
Have you tried something like this?
=If [Note Bill Type Code] = “A” Then
If IsNull([Billing Principal Interest Amount]/2) Then
SomeOtherCalculation
ElseIf
[Billing Principal Interest Amount]/2
Else
"If you do not have and Else clause the formula will evaluate to NULL if the logic makes it here"
I would think the only way [BILLING PRINCIPAL INTEREST AMOUNT]/2 would result in NULL is if [BILLING PRINCIPAL INTEREST AMOUNT] is NULL, so why not just check that?
=If [Note Bill Type Code] = “A” Then
If IsNull([Billing Principal Interest Amount]) Then
SomeOtherCalculation
ElseIf
[Billing Principal Interest Amount]/2
Else
"If you do not have and Else clause the formula will evaluate to NULL if the logic makes it here"
Thanks. Yeah, I am struggling a bit getting the outcome I want, I got some strange issues with your example, but I think you have the right idea of what I want.
Is there a way to structure the formula to say (this didn’t seem to work, I don’t think I have IsNull correctly used here):
=If [Note Bill Type Code] = “A” Where([Billing Principal Interest Amount] IsNull) Then ([Query 1 with LoanDly].[Note Pmt Sched Total Amount] - [Query 1 with LoanDly].[Note Pmt Sched Escrow Amount]) ElseIf [Note Bill Type Code] = “A” Then ([Billing Principal Interest Amount]/2) ElseIf …more conditions here
You cannot have a Where clause in an If statement. What believe you want is a nested If statement. Something this…
=If ([Note Bill Type Code] = "A") Then
If (IsNull([Billing Principal Interest Amount])) Then
[Note Pmt Sched Total Amount] - [Note Pmt Sched Escrow Amount]
Else
/* [Billing Principal Interest Amount] is not null is implied here */
[Billing Principal Interest Amount] / 2
Else
/* [Note Bill Type Code] <> "A" is implied here */

What version of BOBJ are you using? My text within “/…/” is a comment which is new to 4.3.
You can read up on the IsNull function here.
You can get the same information with WebI here…
Thanks. I am using 4.2. I tried the comment, but that does not look like it works in 4.2. We should be on 4.3 soon.
I actually think I did get what I need using the nested formula! Thank you for your help!
If you just take out my text between and including “/**/” it should work for you.
