    Expression construction from Excel formula to Access

    Hi everyone. 95% of my working time I use Excel (never Access) but I was advised to shift to Access for a database. I copied the original excel file to Access but came up with problems on a formula. The excel formula is:
    =IF(SEX="","",IF(OR(SEX={"CHURCH","SCHOOL","GOVERN MENT"}),"EXEMPT",IF(AND([@[Classification of Property]]="Residential Building",[@[Assessed Value
    Imp.]]=0),"EXEMPT",IF(Year_1=2020,"CURRENT","DELINQUENT" ))))
    When I copied this to Access, it says AND and OR are invalid syntax. How do I edit this to make it valid? Thank you.

    See if this helps with both IIf() (not If) and And/Or within.

    Thank you Paul. I finally got the desired results from the ff expression:
    Status: IIf([Sex]="SCHOOL" Or [Sex]="GOVERNMENT" Or [Sex]="CHURCH","EXEMPT",IIf([ClassificationOfProperty]="Residential Building" And [AssessedValueImp]=0,"EXEMPT",IIf([Year1]=2020,"CURRENT","DELINQUENT")))

    An alternative way would be


    Status: IIf([Sex] IN ("SCHOOL","GOVERNMENT","CHURCH") OR ([ClassificationOfProperty]="Residential Building" And [AssessedValueImp]=0),"EXEMPT",IIf([Year_1]=2020,"CURRENT","DELINQUENT"))
