Calculation help needed

[Former Community Member]

I need to do a pretty simple calculation based on input in another field.

I need to check the state input, and then calculate sales tax if the state is the required state.

I've tried:

If(txtState = "LA") then (numTotal*.04) else 0 endif



This is giving me a syntax error message. What do I need to do for this?

TIA-

You have to use the equality operator, "eq" or "==", for testing in a logical expression and you have to test either the "rawValue" or "formattedValue" property of the field.
