Hi,
I was consolidating gender questions into one single dummy question.I used the below function,it only works if Female selected because the second function overwrites the first one,how can I best execute this?
{GenderDummy1=if((genderid=="male" or gender==1),"1")}{GenderDummy1=if((genderid=="female" or gender==2) ,"2")}

The first is easy to understand. Of course will it overwrite.
Maybe you may save it by:
{GenderDummy1=if(genderid=="male" or gender==1,"1")}
{GenderDummy1=if(genderid=="female" or gender==2 ,"2", GenderDummy1)}
You should try.

But better:
{GenderDummy1=if(genderid=="male" or gender==1,1,2)}
if there is no other option. If it is not 1 then it is 2.

Otherwise (there is a third option) you should use a nested IF with the usual syntax {IF(condition,what if true, what if false)}
{GenderDummy1=if(genderid=="male" or gender==1,1,if(genderid=="female" or gender==2 ,2,0))}

Here you see that the FALSE part of the first IF is a new IF-statement.
The result will be:
1, if genderid == "male"
1, if gender == 1
2, if genderid == "female"
2​​​​​​, if gender == 2
0​​​​, if genderid != "male" and gender!=1 and genderid!="female" and gender!=2
