Hi

I'm using the wss 2003.

I am trying to create a calculated field using the IF formula amongst others, but I keep getting an error. According the help files there shouldn't be any problems, and the script is simple enough. Example =IF(x<y,"Yes","No"). (Data returned=simple text)

The error message:
The formula contains a syntax error or is not supported.

Is there some general error in the formulas that I don't know about?
Has anyone else had this problem?

Jon
