Hi All,

I have to populate to one of my target table column as per the below logic:


-populate "xxx"

-if value is not there for "xxx" then Populate "yyy"

-if value is not there for both "xxx" and "yyy" then populate "zzz"

-if value is not there for both "xxx" and "yyy" and "zzz" then leave blank.

So Itried with the below logic ,but it is not working as per the logic:


the derivation used in my transformer is :

If IsNotNull(xxx) Then Link.xxx
else If IsNotNull(YYY) Then Link.YYY
else If IsNotNull(ZZZ) Then ZZZ
Else ""

It is only populating the 'XXX' Value,but not populating as per the logic.

Could any one help me on my issue ,is there any thing missed in paranthesis or logic problem?


thanks in advance.

Please Trim all the spaces before checking the NULLABILITY, there might be some spaces. Otherwise use NullToEmpty(Colxxx.Val) <> '' Then ... Else ... soon

Before using the Trim make sure that you are not trimming NULL, records will be dropped during Trim incase they have NULLs in them

If this is the exact code you are using then it is wrong.

It should have been And if that was not the exact code you are using, then, try

IsNull(Link.xxx)=0 instead of IsNotNull(Link.xxx).............

Thanks to all,

I got the solution,i removed NullToEmpty and Trim function in the earlier transformer stage and i applied

If IsNotNull(Link.xxx) Then Link.xxx
else If IsNotNull(Link.YYY) Then Link.YYY
else If IsNotNull(Link.ZZZ) Then Link.ZZZ
Else ""

it is working fine.

thanks for the help all.
