Hi all,

 

When trying to use the console to create a new variable, I get an error message after typing “if (female == 1)” saying “error evaluating ‘if’”. I’ve also tried it with a script and get the same result. This is on Windows, latest snapshot (office desktop) and also with the previous win64.zip snapshot (classroom). I’ve tried spacing/no spacing, parentheses & not, all with no change.

If 'female' is a series, then 'female==1' will also yield a (dummy) series, and that won't work with a boolean check, because what should the result be? So an if-block needs a scalar/unique input for evaluation. Perhaps you should give more context as to what you are trying to achieve. For example, a ternary statement is often useful.

cheers
