The following statement, when applied to the Format property of the Salary column, causes the column to display the word Overpaid for any salary greater than $60,000 and Underpaid for any salary under $60,000:

If(salary>60000, 'Overpaid', 'Underpaid')

Edit Mask edit style change The Edit Mask edit style assigned to the salary column had to be changed. Because edit styles take precedence over display formats, it was necessary to change the edit style assigned to the salary column (an Edit Mask edit style) to the Edit edit style.
