Hi,

I am wanting to use a simple if statement to set the value of a cell in another table

Code:
=IF(adsum[URN]=[URN],"Yay","Nay")
it doesn't seem to recognise the column URN in adsum and only shows up the table.

Thanks

Chris
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
What platform are you using for this? As you have posted in the BI forums, the the structure of your IF statement looks like Excel.

I might be mistaken :)

For example, In Power Query I would do a join and then use an if to test of the join is null. If null then "Nay" else "Yey"...
