Making functions conditional
Posted: 02 Apr 2006 17:40
What I would like is to have some sort of conditonal element in the expression fields where data references are entered, such as in the creation of a new column in Individuals Records.
So, to create a column where the spouse's surname is shown for females only, something like:
at the moment only the latter part in brackets can be entered thus showing the spouse surname for males and females.
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.
