(MR) Calculations with column letter "IF"

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20
Hello Community,
I have a huge report that has a lot of columns, it goes from A all the way to TZ, many columns have different calculations such as HB-HA for example. However, we have a problem with the column "IF", because when we try to use it in a calculation like this: 
IF+HP+GZ+GJ+EA
 
The MR gives me an error and tells me that the conditional expression is incomplete and that it needs a "THEN".

Now, I understand this happens due to the fact that the word IF is a reserved word for conditional calculations and such, the question, how do i use the column with the letters "IF" then? Or can I simply not use that column in calculations?

    oh... wow... hmmm... I bet they never thought you would have THAT many columns!! Yikes!
     
    I know what I would do.    Just add a non-printing column in column "IF".      Somedays you can't fight Microsoft.   
    :-)
     
    Good luck?
     
    Best,
