Calculation If statement to select text, can't figure it out...

I want "Continuity Header Calc" to take "Group_Header" if it exists. If it does not, take Scenes:Scene Header

 

I tried making the calculation with this:

If ( IsEmpty ( Group_Header ) ; Scenes::Scene Header {; Group_Header} )

 

 

But it gives me the error:

"The specified field cannot be found"

 

I think I'm missing something...

Thanks in advance!

Try removing the curly brackets (which denote an optional argument): 

If ( IsEmpty ( Group_Header ) ; Scenes::Scene Header ; Group_Header )
