[Qgis-user] Working with field calculator on QGIS 1.8.0

[Manuel Spínola]

Dear list members,

I am using the field calculator in 1.8.0 (Mac OS)

I am creating a new field (column) called NEW_COVER and I want to assign a
value of 1 to the value A of the existing field (column) Cover and 0 to the
value B.

Field: Cover
Values: A, B


In the Expression window I have:

'A' = 1

But when I click OK, I don't get the result that I was expecting, to have a
value 1 on the new field NEW_COVER.

What I am doing wrong?

Best,

Manuel
