Improper use of boolean expressions

[sifuentes]

I am trying to do a tag that will concatenate two parameters in a label. One parameter is text with the name of the component, and the other parameter is a yes/no parameter for existing equipment. I added a third parameter Existing Text that I want to leave blank for new equipment, and display (E) foe existing. The tag would concatenate Name + Existing Text

I created three parameters:

Name (text)
Existing (yes/no)
Existing Text (text)

I am trying to make Existing Text work with this formula:

if (Existing = 1, "(E)", "")

But I keep receiving a message saying "Improper use of boolean expressions"

Can someone help with this please, or tell if this is possible?

Thanks,

Yes/no results are implied....as below should work

If (Existing,"(E)","")

Regardless of the format being wrong, it wont let you do that with a text parameter. Concatenate isnt possible in Revit. And Formulas arent possible with Text parameters.

Alex's solution is correct, though, since in this case "Existing" is a Yes/No parameter.

True. Text parameters cannot be used in formulas. The only text possible in formulas is the text value that one wants to assign to a text parameter, as the <result-if-true>, <result-if-false> parts of an IF formula.

Thanks to everyone, everything's working now.

What I meant by concatenate is using several parameters in the same label.
