I am working on an add-query.
In the add query I am trying to fill field C
with with a true or false value, depending on the value in field A
.
If the value in field A
equals -1
the value in field C
should be true
(-1)
I thought that the solution would be something like the following, but I am getting #Error
in the results:
C: IIf([A]='-1',True,False)
A solution that seems to return the desired outcome is the following:
B: IIf(Nz([A])='-1',True,False)
The problem with this (NZ-function) is that it throws an error when running the query with VB (ADO,DAO or OLEDB)
My question is:
What formula can be used to get to the desired results without using the NZ-function
The desired results are as given in field B

Since you're using quotes, I assume your value is a string. In that case, Nz
will convert a Null
to a zero-length string.
You can achieve the same by simply concatenating an empty string:
IIf([A] & ''='-1',True,False)
A more general solution is to use IIf
, which allows you to specify an alternative value on nulls:
IIf(IIf([A] IS NULL, '', [A]) = '-1', True, False)
CodePudding user response:
As [A]
is numeric, all you need is to compare it with True
:
C: [A]=True
