Emulate A Nested If?

[Jeff]

I am trying to convert an Excel spreadsheet to an Access database. In
the spreadsheet, I use a nested IF statement to return one of three
results by comparing two values:

=IF([TeamScore]>[OpponentScore],"WIN",IF([TeamScore]<[OpponentScore],"LOSS","TIE"))

Can anyone provide insight into how I might accomplish a similar task
in an Access query? So far, I've been able to closely emulate the
spreadsheet in the database by establishing a field in a query with an
IFF expression, but I can only return one of two results, rather than
three:

RESULT: IIF([TeamScore]>[OpponentScore],"WIN","LOSS")

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Nested IFs work in Access as well, you just need to make sure you have all
the IIFs with two I's. I would look for a typo if it's not working.

Thanks, Cameo! You're right; I must have been coding it incorrectly,
as it seems to work now. Thanks again!
