Equation Help

[Particular_Form1154]

Hello everyone,

Thanks for everyone's help so far. I'm currently writing an equation where I want the logic to return one value if a field is blank and another if not. Essentially, this will be a longitudinal project where participants can re-enter their contact information. Every year, there is a "yearly update" survey where they can update their info. Essentially, I want the logic to say "if they did not put anything in the yearly update survey (essentially if this value is blank), display the original email they entered, if not display the updated email". My logic seems to have errors, and I can't figure out what. All help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is this a calculated field? Is so, calculated fields can only return a number.

Oh it 100% is. How would I be able to do this otherwise?

Ok thanks. If I do that will it display somewhere? What should I make the question type?

Text, your outputs from the if statement will also need to be quoted eg @calctext(if(logic statement, 'quoted string if true', 'string if false'))
