if statements text

[zsmith]

Curious, there is the "if statement and if function" options, but can you have MathCAD output text messages from an if statement much like Excel does?
eg If x > 1 then design is sufficient
x < 1 then design is deficient

Depending on which version you have; in V11 and at least a couple of older versions, you can do this:

if(x>1,&quot;Great!&quot;,&quot;Bummer!&quot

You can also do things like

v1:=&quot;Great&quot;
v2:=&quot;Bummer&quot;
if(x>1,v1,v2)

Thanks gentleman, but i dont see how it gives the output its more like a definition. I would like to hide the actual &quot;if statement&quot; and only have the conclusion.

One way to hide the statements is:
- Go to &quot;Insert&quot;/&quot;Area&quot;
- Write inside the if statements.
- Double click in one of the the arrow to hide the text and statements.

Another way is to put the statements off to the right beyond the printable area.
