Business Objects IF Statement

former_member1029455 — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 20:22:55 GMT

I wonder if someone can help. I'm trying to create a variable to pull in the Costing Level for Staff into a report - I've created a sub query for the Costing and want to create a variable to pull in the Costing Information to my main Staff report.

The problem is there are multiple lines as Costing is split across Cost Centre, Project and Task which are all held in the same field name ie Cost Code:Posn. I want to say that for Cost Centre for example, for each employee if the Costing Level = Cost Centre then show value from the Cost Code Field.

I've merged the 2 reports on the Person ID field

Below is the formula I used but I'm getting #MULTIVALUE

=If([Monthly Cost Centre].[Level:Posn Costing] = "Cost Centre") Then [Monthly Cost Centre].[Cost Code:Posn] Else ""

Can you share a screenshot with sample data and incorrect and expected results so we can give you what may be the correct answer?
