i have the following code in my conditional split
((TRIM(INV_SECTYPE_COD) == "70")) && ((TRIM(INV_SECTYPE_COD) == "71")) && ((TRIM(INV_SECTYPE_COD) == "72")) && ((TRIM(INV_SECTYPE_COD) == "73")) && ((TRIM(INV_SECTYPE_COD) == "74")) && ((TRIM(INV_SECTYPE_COD) == "75"))
[\code]
it doesnt seem to be working. not going into the Derived Column i expect it to when it find these. the number are def in there so it should hit the derived column but wont.
any ideas why

INV_SECTYPE_COD cannot simultaneously be all of those values and therefore the test will always fail. Perhaps you intended to use OR (||) rather than AND (&&)?

can anyone see anything wrong with this

(FINDSTRING(UPPER(AttributeNames),"Future Notional",1) > 0) && ((TRIM(INV_SECTYPE_COD) == "75"))

You're not having a good day are you? 🙂

If you are converting your input string to uppercase, you should probably also convert your search string:

(FINDSTRING(UPPER(AttributeNames),"FUTURE NOTIONAL",1) > 0) && ((TRIM(INV_SECTYPE_COD) == "75")

Do not give up! we have all had days like that (oh boy, have I...)

Just step back, take a deep breath, think about something really pleasant for a few minutes (time with family, favorite vacation spot....) and reconvene fresh.
