Nested IIF Functions to Categorize Spending in Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to use nested IIF functions to categorize customer spending into High, Medium, and Low based on specified thresholds. This video covers creating calculated fields in both queries and forms, offering practical examples to enhance your database skills.

Alicia from Woodland, California (a Platinum Member) asks: I'm working on a query to categorize customers based on their spending. I need to assign a category based on the TotalSpent field: High if they've spent over $1,000, Medium if they've spent between $500 and $1,000, and Low if they've spent less than $500. How can I achieve this in Microsoft Access?
