Looking for a little help, quite new to Crystal Reports and got the basics covered but learning more every day.
Got an issue with a report I'm doing for my boss where we have varying monthly sales targets, but I keep getting an error so hopefully someone can fill in the blanks for me.

if{@month} = "January - 2014" then 300000
if{@month} = "February - 2014" then 330000
if{@month} = "March - 2014" then 350000

and so on for rest of year
Tried using and/or etc but cant seem to figure it out.

To correct your code you need to add ELSE before each subsequent IF statement
if{@month} = "January - 2014" then 300000
ELSE if{@month} = "February - 2014" then 330000
ELSE if{@month} = "March - 2014" then 350000
 
Another option would be
 
SELECT {@month}
   CASE  "January - 2014"
         :300000
   CASE "February - 2014"
         :330000
CASE "February - 2014"
         :350000
DEFAULT //default is where the above condition has not been met (all other records)
         :0

You could have kept your original ifs (not the best way to code though).  You would have need to end each if statement with an ;

z9962 is a much cleaner and more efficient way of doing the code.
