Hi all,

I'm trying to get some conditional if statements to work and I'm receiving an error that there is a NULL in the expression:  if(${SARP_SCORE},1,'No Barrier',if((${SARP_SCORE},< 1) and (${SARP_SCORE},>=0.8),'Insignificant Barrier',if((${SARP_SCORE},< 0.8) and (${SARP_SCORE},>=0.6),'Minor Barrier',if((${SARP_SCORE},< 0.6) and (${SARP_SCORE},>=0.4),'Moderate Barrier',if((${SARP_SCORE}, <0.4 ) and (${SARP_SCORE},>=0.2),'Significant Barrier',if((${SARP_SCORE},< 0.2) and (${SARP_SCORE},>=0),'Severe Barrier','Not Scored'))))))

Any insight?

Thank you!

I think it means that one of the fields you are querying has a <Null> value in it.  

That should just about do it....

Thanks Joe. Do you mean one of the fields has no calculation? It looks like all have somethign in them, there are no NULLs

That's what I was thinking, yes.  But if that's not the case, take a look at the nests of if statements you have.  It's really easy to miss a paren here or there in this style of scripting.  I know my eyes go crossed in no time!  Give me

if some_condition:
  do_something
elif some_other_condtion:
  do_something_different
else:
  do_something_altogether_different

And I'm a happy guy.  What I've done in the past is write the nested conditions like what you are working with one at a time and try them, until I have the whole enchilada working.
