Solved: COMPLICATED IF FUNCTION. - Page 2

ATL_COM_LAB · ‎08-04-2017

I am trying to make an app to collect info as containers are loaded in the field. i have FINALLY suceeded in making the basic app work, and it does collect info. Now, I am trying to add some validation to different fields.

The CONTAINER field will contain a container number which has a specific formula (ISO 6346) to evaluate if the number is correct. More info and code samples are HERE.

We were using Excel to run an If function and it works great, but when trying to adapt that If function to PA i get lot of errors.

I know PA can run If, Len, and Mid; so is it just too much for PA to handle? or am i going about this the wrong way?

I would greatly appreciate any ideas.

-TIA

(i am trying to use containerid as a global variable with a button to set it and trigger the validation)

Slightly cleaner version:

If(
                Value <= 3,
                Code1 + RoundDown(
                    Code1 / 11,
                    0
                ) - 60 + If(
                    Code1 in [76,86,87],
                    1,
                    0
                ),
                Value(Character)
            )
