Columns... a conditional element
Posted: 02 Apr 2006 12:22
It's not possible to have a conditional element in the creation of new columns in individuals records, is it?
Let me explain. I want a column that shows the spouse's surname for females only, in other words their married name. I can create a column with:
but this displays against males as well . What I really want is something like:
or whatever.
I imagine that the engine for this sort of comparison is already in the program code, it just needs extending to other parts of the program.
Go on, tell me I've missed something simple

INDI.~SPOU[1]>NAME[1]:SURNAMECode: Select all
if INDI.SEX=Female (INDI.~SPOU[1]>NAME[1]:SURNAME)I imagine that the engine for this sort of comparison is already in the program code, it just needs extending to other parts of the program.
