If statements in Expression Builder

Hello, I'm pretty new at Access, and I'm completely clueless on what I'm doing.

I'm working on a report, and trying to format a field that is generated in the report.

I'm guessing the only way to work with it is through expression builder.

Is it possible to use If statements there? I haven't found any decent guides anywhere that tells how to use them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You don't have to use the expression builder if you don't want to, just type into the text box starting with "="
You will want to use the IIf function.
