Finding a value in a check box value list.

[William Bell]

I am working on an Enrollment Database and I want to ensure that a student is not assigned a class that is not for his/her grade.

To avoid entry errors I have a check box field in the Classes Table (06. 07. 08. 09. 10. 11. 12) of the database which the administrator checks when setting up the database. In the Students Table of the database there is a field with the student's grade e.g. 09

In the classes + students join table I would like a calculation field that reads the students grade and compares it to the check box field and returns either "OK" if the student is in the correct grade for the class and "Wrong Grade" if the student is in grade 9 but the class is for grades 10-12.

As far as I can see there is no "Find "Text" in specified Field" type of function and I have tried using Filter, and Positon functions but without consistent success - if the students grade is the same as the first check box checked it works otherwise not.

I'd appreciate any help on this that I could get.

Try:

not IsEmpty ( FilterValues ( Students::Grade ; Classes::Grades ) )

Thanks for the reply sorry I didn't get back sooner. Dropped my MacBook Pro. It's not as indestructible as it looks. -(
