how to write this if-then-else expression?

[dprogrammer]

Hi, I need little help in writing this simple expression:

if parameter1=1 then 'Show Text1'

if parameter1=2 then 'Show Text2'

if parameter1=3 then 'Show Text3'

else 'N/A'?

Thanks in advance

If you condition the printing of each of the three static text fields by

 

parameter1.equals("n")

 

where "n" is the appropriate value for that static text, that should work, no?

The values of the parameter are numerics, i-e 1,2, and 3. Based upon the value, the expression should show appropriate text. Did you mean that I create three static fields and then show/suppress them conditionally based upon "n" value? Yes, that's what currently I am doing but I was trying to achieve same through a single expression.

Hi dreporter,

 

I think you're after something like the following.  I havent tested this but it should get you on the right track.

Lukus, this is exactly what I was looking for. I tried it and it works. There was an extra "?" at the end that I had to remove.

Thanks!
