    IF is a logic statement. You can use it in a query or program (procedure/function). It does not apply to a Table.
    IF(COURSE_WORK>80) : "90/100*500")'
    The syntax is incorrect:
    -unbalanced parentheses
    - unknown :
    - quotes are used to delimit strings

    The correct syntax and usage examples are shown in the links provide in previous post.

    What exactly are you trying to do?
    I'm trying to calculate......
    I'm changing a value....
    I'm trying to display..... ????
