In case someone else bumps into this:
The syntax of the IF-statements is very natural in Causal.
However, I’ve been struggling with AND & OR operators a bit.
Secret sauce: brackets.
IF a > b AND c = d THEN 1 ELSE 0
is having trouble while
IF (a > b) AND (c = d) THEN 1 ELSE 0
works like a charm 
Hey Fabian,
That doesn’t seem true, in the following model (and/or query - Causal), “New Variable” has the same formula as the one mentioned by you in your post without the brackets, could you elaborate a little more on what exactly do you mean by “having trouble”, maybe we can help you out better.
Both of those syntaxes should work within Causal - no brackets or parentheses needed!
I was trying to use AND/OR clauses recently, couldn’t figure it out. There are no examples in the documentation, so I assumed causal couldn’t do this.
Would be good to show how easy this is, using Causal!
Hey Jason, thanks for the feedback! I just updated our documentation - you can now find some examples in our formulas article. Please let us know if you keep having issues!
