Hi.
Is it possible to set a conditional field in a form letter which displays text if a field is not empty?
Conditional text fields
Re: Conditional text fields
I suppose you need a solution for TextMaker, right?
Let's assume the field which sets the condition is called "TEXTBOX1". Then you insert a calculation with the formula: IF(TEXTBOX1="";"";"text").
When TEXTBOX1 is empty, the result of the calculation is void, otherwise it displays "text".

Re: Conditional text fields
Yes, Jossi. Thank you! I am talking about fields in tables in TextMaker.
What I'd like to do specifically is have a string of text in a document that is displayed along with the contents of the cell if there is some text in the field. For example, if the cell in my table contained no text, the result of the formula would be empty. However, if the cell did contain some text, I'd like the result of the formula to return "some text "contents of cell.
Is this possible?

Re: Conditional text fields
Hi!
Revisiting this question - is it possible to do something similar with textboxes in forms? What I want to do is display some text in a box if a textbox somewhere else in my form is checked.

Re: Conditional text fields
Yes, it can be done with the following formula:
IF(CHECKBOX1.SEL=1;"Checked";"Unchecked" ) To update the formula you may:
Press F9 or type anything on the document. It also updates before printing or PDF Export and also when opening the document.
