Error in rule

[daya007]

Hi,

I have a measure in which one element is string(Current status) which contains a single alphabet('G', 'R', 'Y') and i have a simple element(Status). I want to populate the numeric field such as if string element has 'G' then 1, 'Y' then 2 and 'R' then 3.
I wrote a rule like this.
['Status']=IF(['Current Status']='G', 1, IF(['Current Status']='Y', 2, IF(['Current Status']='R', 3, 0)));

Am am getting following error

---------------------------
TM1 Error
---------------------------
Line 1: Syntax error on or before:
'G', 1, IF(['Current
incorrect logical comparison

Please help me with this error.

Thanks
Daya

Use @=, not =, to do a comparison against a string value.

Hi Alan

Thanks for the quick reply

I have tried

['Status']=IF(['Current Status']@='G', 1, IF(['Current Status']@='Y', 2, IF(['Current Status']@='R', 3, 0)));

still am getting following error.
Donno where i am missing.

Rule could not be attached to the cube, but changes were saved.

OK

one thing to add that @and = should be together i.e. no space between them.

Yes they are together but same error

You're referencing string content using the [...] syntax, which won't work. Write full DB() references instead.
