I'm looking at the following if statement:
If (MyFieldName = 0) Then
Return 1
Else
Return MyFieldNameCan be expressed as:
IIf(Fields!MyFieldName.Value = 0, 1, Fields!MyFieldName.Value)Discussion

Is it possible to make a "OR" in the IIF statement like this:
=IIF(field > 1 OR field < 5,true,false)
Thanks in advance:)
Hi Steve, Thanks for the comment. The nested if-then-else statements I use have to sit in the middle part of the statement.
[code]
IIf(
Fields!MyFieldName.Value = 0,
IIf(Fields!MyFieldName.Value = false, False, True),
Fields!MyFieldName.Value
)
[/code]
Also the code you posted is just missing a closing bracket/parenthesis at the end.
What about nesting IF's? I can't seem to get it to work for me.
=IIf(Fields!addLine1.Value =" ",Fields!addLine3.Value, iif (Fields.Myvalue,0,10)
