Help formating a query field

[stevenrec]

I'm back.
Do not use queries too often and have trouble formating a field:

misc: if(([data_order]![order_type])='2';"Normal)";
if(([data_order]![order_type])='8';"Extra")

Basically want it to check the number in the <order_typefield and if
it is 2, type Normal and if it is 8 type Extra.

Thought I could get it to work with IIF, but have not had any luck yet.
Is this even possible? I am sure I have done it before, but cannot find
where.

Please help.

Fewer parenthesis, commas instead of semi-colons, IIF instead of IF.

If the order_type field is numeric, remove parenthesis from around the 2 and
8.

misc: iif([data_order]![order_type]="2","Normal",
iif([data_order]![order_type]="8","Extra", "Unknown?")
