In the previous movie, I showed you how to use the if-then structure to decide which of several sets of instructions to follow based on a report value. Now learn another way to select which set of instructions to follow by using the case structure. The case structure is perfect for defining conditional actions based on multiple conditions.
- [Instructor] In the previous movie,…I showed you how to use the If/Then structure…to decide which of several sets of instructions…to follow, based on a report value.…In this movie, I will show you another way…to select which set of instructions to follow,…by using the Case structure.…My sample file is the Case Report,…and you can find it in the Chapter Nine folder,…of the Exercise Files collection.…The If/Then structure allows you to make…one of two choices; if something is true…then do something, or, if the condition is not met,…for example, an order is not greater…than 250 dollars, then do nothing.…
If you want to have multiple possible actions,…then you can use a Case Statement, to define those actions.…To start, I need to create a new formula field.…So, I'll go over to the Field Explorer,…which is at the right side of the program window.…If you don't see the Field Explorer, then go to…the View menu, and click Field Explorer, to display it.…Mine's already visible, so I'll click…Formula Fields, and then click New.…
