<font face="Arial">Hello QGIS users,<br>
<br>
the QGIS world is new to me, so please be gentle...<br>
<br>
I am wondering how I could combine field calculator functions in
order to convert information from an existing data column into a
new one.<br>
What I can do with my mediocre knowledge is to query information
from column 1 by setting <br>
<br>
"column1"='abc' <br>
<br>
which gives me a binary result (0,1) in my resulting column. Then
I can <br>
<br>
replace ("newcolumn",'1','6')<br>
<br>
How could I combine these two into one working function (i.e.
there MUST be a simple expression in the function list) and do not
lose the new number when querying another information (e.g. 'cba')
from column 1? <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
<br>
