Properties | Expression based on Renovation Status

Josh Verran
Expert

I have set up a CONCAT expression to merge a bunch of various properties and text (for the sake of this example I'll refer to it as CONCAT-1.

 

I want the expression to present different information depending on the renovation status of the element.

 

I think what I need is an IF function, something like:

IF the element is new then show CONCAT-1,

IF the element is existing then show CONCAT-2,

IF the element is to be demolished then show CONCAT-3.

However, I am not having much luck at all with the IF function in the expressions.

You can not have two expressions within the same expression sequence.

Use the ADD button to make a new expression sequence and place your second expression in it. The program will use the first expression sequence that is valid. Otherwise, all must be in the same expression.
