Using If-Then-Else statement in a document template

[eric menglier]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to mailmerge document template that contains formula and rules like IF THEN ELSE statement.

For example,
I have created a .docx document template with the following rule :
{ IF {MERGEFIELD SEX } = "MALE" "Hello Mister" "Hello Miss" }

I have created the document with a csv file that contains the following field names and values :
"SEX";"NAME";"ADRESS"
"MALE";"John";"Paris"

Thanks

Hi eric,

Thank you for your interest in syncfusion products.

Essential DocIO supports updation of If-Then-Else field within the document. Conditional checking is not performed by DocIO.To check the condition and update the field press F9 in the generated document.

Field name and Field values from the csv file can be obtained using XlsIO. We have prepared the sample for your requirement. Could you please find the sample from the below link. Try running the sample and let us know if this helps.

Hi,
Thank you for your help.
I tried running the sample and it worked. The problem was that I used a .docx template.

In case of a .doc template, Essential DocIO correctly performs the updation of If-Then-Else field.
Otherwise, if I use a .docx template, the updation of If-Then-Else field does not work.
