Printing left or right arrows based on a value in a field
I have a LOCATION field that can be PA, PB, PC through to PZ.
I need to print a left arrow if the location name is PA, PC, PE, PG, etc
or a right arrow if the location is PB, PD, PF, PH etc
I'm looking at LAYERS and CONDITIONAL PRINTING, but need help on how to build the conditional statement.

Depending on how you want the arrows you can either include them on layers or as text objects (using the right and left arrows in the Symbols font).
In either instance the conditional printing setup would be very similar. For simplicity I would suggest making your P(X) text string a Named Data Source via the Change Data Source Name button in the Data Source properties (I called mine GetLoc)
If you are using the Text option for the arrows then you need the reverse logic to the image option (Suppress when rather the Print when) and below is an image using showing the image layer option (for actual use I would move the images on top of each other so they are in the same location when they print)
