How to populate a new column with a conditional statment

dfusco923

I would like to populate column = = :Cost Set_2 with the same data as  from column == :Cost Set 

 

Except if column == :Mon_Yr == 03/2022 AND :Cost Set=="ACTUAL_PAID" THEN :Cost Set_2 == "ACWP"

 

I have a formula script that but I could not get it to work:

 

If( Char( Format( :Mon_Yr, "m/y" ) == "03/2022" ) & (:Cost Set == "ACTUAL_PAID")),
	"ACWP",

 

Also instead of using "03/2022"  I'd like to set this upfront in the jsl code as global variable, how can I do that?

Probably this will work:

::DATE_SELECT = "03.2022";
If( Format( :Mon_Yr, "m.y" ) == ::DATE_SELECT & :Cost Set == "ACTUAL_PAID",
	"ACWP",
	:Cost Set
);

Instead of setting global variable within the formula code, you can set it elsewhere also.

Please see that my date format is different due to different language settings.

To avoid Syntax problems, I like to use Crtl-M (reformat code) to let JMP show me problems in my (formula) code.
