how do I use if statements with mail merge from excel

[Happiestjulia]

I have an excel spreadsheet that lists sessions attended by indivuals. The
column headers give the session name, a 1 indicates they attended and a 0 if
they didn't.

I need to merge this information into a certificate.

At the moment I have:
IF «session_3» == 1 v x

where v is actially a windings tick and x is a windings cross

It doesn't work. It returns the same whatever «session_3» is

I've also tried
IF «session_3» = 1 v x

This seems like it should be really simple - where am I going wrong?

Your field should look something like this"

{IF {Mergerfield Session-3 } = "1""v""x"}
