Hey guys. I'm trying to conditionally format a date field in a report. If the field in the record Is Null I want to return "No" if Not Null I want to return "Yes." Here is what I have so far:

IIf([fldName] Is Null,"No","Yes")

Doesn't work though; either shows the actual entry or a blank space, not "Yes/No"

Help?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
Conditional formatting is used to change the formatting properties (i.e. fill color, text color, bold, etc) of a field. It does NOT return a value. That would be a calculated field, not conditional formatting.

A calculated field on your report (or in the underlying query) would look like:
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]IIf(IsNull([fldName]),"Yes","No")[/COLOR]

For conditional formatting, you would simply use:
Code:
IsNull([fldName])
which returns True or False (Conditional Formatting is applied when condition is True)
