The IFF will work on values in the same row.
You're /info/ column depends on values in two different rows.
So you are correct - you need the /year/ column to put the rows in the proper order. I've done something like this by creating a temp table and adding the /info/ column. Then cursor through with an /order by/ (/year/ in this case) and compare the previous to the current year. Once you've done that, you could then indicate +3, -1, +2...and then add colors - red if > 3, .... and then...

Hi,

I want to add to the info column  "+" or  "-"
with the UPDATE command using the
  IFF function (IFF('.v1<.v2','+','-'))
but cannot get it working because I think I
need the year as reference.
Is there a different function I can use ?
Thank´s
