I’m trying to get a very simple IF/Else Column to compute correctly, but for some reason I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

I need have two fields A & B

The condition need to be:

If A does not include ‘Unload’ then true  
If A does include ‘Unload’ and B is checked then true  
If A does include Unload and B is not checked then null

I somehow cannot get this IF/Else to do what I want to do, can someone help?

I think you can just do:

- If A doesn’t include Unload, then true
- If B is checked, then true

Your 3rd condition isn’t needed, because you will have eliminated both cases with the first two conditions.

Ohh god - so easy.  
I don’t know why I can’t get my head around these conditionals…

But thank you for saving my sanity
