iif

The iif function evaluates the first argument (the predicate), and returns the value of either the second or third arguments, depending on whether the predicate evaluated to true (second) or false (third).

The second and third arguments must be of the same type.

Alias: iff (iif and iff are synonyms.)

​

iif( Predicate, IfTrue, IfFalse )

This function returns the value of IfTrue if predicate evaluates to true, or the value of IfFalse otherwise.
