Wrong expression type error

Hey Community,

 I have a formula that works perfectly when I use in a table column but will not work at all in my script. I'm certain I've overlooked something stupid but can't seem to figure it out. Anyone want to give it fresh eyes? 

 

dt3 << New Column( "Age Group", Character, "Nominal" );

dt3:Age Group << Set Each Value(
    If(
        :Overdue Age < 1, Empty(),
        1 <= :Overdue Age < 90, "<3 mo",
        90 <= :Overdue Age < 181, "3-6 mo",
        180 <= :Overdue Age < 366, "6-12 mo",
        :Overdue Age > 365, "More than 12 mo"
    )
);

This is the error I'm getting, below.

 

 

Thanks!

Re: Wrong expression type error

Try changing Empty() to "" and add "" for else statement

Names Default To Here(1); 

dt = open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

dt << New Column( "Age Group", Character, "Nominal");

Column(dt, "Age Group") << Set Each Value(
    If(
        :Age < 13, "",
        13 <= :Age < 14, "<3 mo",
        14 <= :Age < 17, "3-6 mo",
        :Age >= 17, "More than 12 mo",
        ""
    )
);
