Hello,

How can I check to see if value is in one field first, if not check the next field?

I have so far the below, it works, but I would like to use an if statement to check if team_name is in Blue first and if not then get the team_name from Red.

| eval Team_Color=case(team=“Blue”, team_name OR team=“Red”, team_name)

any advice on how to use if statement instead of case?

Yeah just nest them:

 

| eval Team_Color=if(<check 1>, <value if check1 true> , if( <check 2> , <value if check2 true>, <value if both false>))

E.g. 

 

| eval Team_Color = if(team="Blue", team_name, if(team="Red",team_name, ""))
