Hi Eri,



You field syntax looks OK, so I suspect the issue may be related to the use of the field braces (ie '{}'). You cannot type these - for manual creation, they must be created in pairs via Ctrl-F9.

In any event, you don't need an IF test - simply format the MERGEFIELD as:
{MERGEFIELD "Item1_Discount" \# "$0.00;-$0.00;"}
or:
{MERGEFIELD "Item1_Discount" \# "$0.00;;"}
