IF in field codes?

tinfanide · #1 09-15-2016, 01:01 AM

Code:

{ IF SAVEDATE="" DATE SAVEDATE  \@ "yyyy/MM/dd" }

If I want to:

If SAVEDATE is nothing (i.e. the document has not yet been saved), it should show today's date while if SAVEDATE is available (i.e. the document has been saved), the savedate codes should follow the format "yyyy/MM/dd".

But the field codes in quotes return nothing. What should I do to fix it?

Many thanks!

Try

Code:

{ IF {SAVEDATE}="" {DATE } {SAVEDATE} \@ "yyyy/MM/dd" }

See Date Calculation Tutorial.
Fields in Word are not the same as in Excel.
