BYGGINV_2 is a string, the name of a document (if existing).

Is your BYGGINV_2 an integer/double/etc field or is it a string?  As far as I know length only works on a string.

Here is the error message:

 

The expression is invalid

Error: Argument types for function 'If' are mismatched. Click here to move the cursor to the error (1)#1

Error: Result types are mismatched: the validation operation expected 'Text' but the expression returned 'Unknown'

 

 

It’s the same whether I use  If (  LENGTH(BYGGINV_2) > 0,  BYGGINV_2 , 0)  or If (  LENGTH(BYGGINV_2) > 0,  BYGGINV_2 , ' ' )  

 

I get the feeling that the problem is LENGTH(BYGGINV_2) > 0 but I cant understand how ?

What does the error say? It normally points to which bit is wrong. 

Is it the empty string? 
Try putting a 0 instead like this: 
If (  LENGTH(BYGGINV_2) > 0,  BYGGINV_2 , 0)

Hi! 

I need help writing a correct string with an if-statement. 

Trying to determine whether an attribute contains any value(string) or not. 

Why doesn't this string work? 

If (  LENGTH(BYGGINV_2) > 0,  BYGGINV_2 , ' ' )   


Default: 
If ( [condition], [trueValue], [falseValue] )
