Answer

To flag an ion ratio as pass or fail in a report, an If/Else statement needs to be added using the MQ_Ion_Ratio tag. Use IF statement ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Ion Ratio",$MQ_Outlier_Reasons)) to report Ion Ratio as failing. Make sure to insert the message “Ion Ratio Fail” within the IF statement. Next, add the Else statement and add the text “Ion Ratio Pass” within the Else loop. See the example below.
