Access Query Problem

[wingnut]

I have created an query in Access combing two related tables (Rented Properties and booking dates which contains a price for any given date). I have created an extra field which finds the minimium price from the booking dates table and divides that by the property occupancy to give me a price per person.

In the expression builder I get:

MinPrice: Min(tblPrices.PriceStandard/tblProperties.PropOccupancy)

This works fine. However, some booking dates will be per person which is indicated by a yes/no box in the booking dates table. So my question is how to put a an if /else statement into the query like:

MinPrice: If tblPrices.PricePerPerson= True do this calculation else do this one.

Hope this makes sense.

TIA

I'm not sure if Access supports the CASE SQL function.

The CASE function allows you to run if/then type operations in a query.

You can use the IIF function in MS Access

IIf(expr, truepart, falsepart)

EG

MinPrice: IIF(tblPrices.PricePerPerson = True, CalculationForTruePart, CalculationForFalsePart)

Thanks Graham works a treat:

The expression:

Min(IIF([tblPrices.PricePerPerson] = False,[tblPrices.PriceStandard]/[tblProperties.PropOccupancy],[tblPrices.PriceStandard]))
