Convert string value to numeric value
I saw a post that showed how to convert from a number value to a string
value. But how about the other way ? Convert a string value to a number value. Example, fieldA contains the text value "YES". fieldB is to contain the numberic value of "1". How would one create a query that would accomplish this task ? "YES" would put the number one (1) in fieldB and "NO" would put the value of two (2) in fieldB. |

Convert string value to numeric value
Check that. I figured it out.
IIF[fieldA]="YES","1", IIF[fieldB]="NO","2",Null This places the number one (1) in the "appended" field YesNo or the number two (2) in the same field, depending on the values of fieldA or fieldB.

Convert string value to numeric value
As written, your IFF() statement checks two different fields for values, not
one. And by the way, if you already have a "YES", why do you (also) need a "1"? You wouldn't need to store that "calculated value", you could just use a (corrected) IIF() expression to calculate a "1" or a "2" on the fly...

Convert string value to numeric value
Do you want a number or a text string that consists of numbers?
IIF(FieldA="Yes",1,IIF(FieldA="No",2,Null)) As noted elsewhere, your expression does something different than the text description you posted.
