Iif expressions

[Guest]

I'm trying to build an expression to show that if there are 6 or more people
in a group that there should be a discount on their rate, otherwise show the
regular rate. I've been trying the following Iif but I keep getting a msg
about how Iif's should be enclosed in parenthesis... They are!! Help!!

"ProposedRate": Iif[People]>=6,[RentalRate]-200,[RentalRate])

I've also tried this one:

"ProposedRate":Iif[People]<6,[RentalRate],[RentalRate]-200)

And I've tried both with and without the quotes on my preferred field
name... I'm lost.

Try the following

ProposedRate: IIF([People]>=6,[RentalRate]-200,[RentalRate])

Syntax is Name of calculated field, colon, Calculation or expression

As a nearly bald guy, all I can say is "I'm glad I stopped you from
pulling out your hair."
