The below macro will input the field heading followed by the field value. The If statement should check the value of the field and if its greater than 30 the actual value is given, otherwise a zero.
Instead of the value appearing if it's true, I just get the actual text I've typed, not it's value.
Sub Macro1()
Dim doc As Word.Document
Dim dtField As Word.MailMergeDataField
Dim sFieldName As String
Dim sFieldActualName As String
Dim j As Integer
Set doc = ActiveDocument
j = 1
For Each dtField In doc.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields
sFieldActualName = doc.MailMerge.DataSource.FieldNames(j).Name
sFieldName = dtField.Name
Selection.TypeText Text:=sFieldActualName + ": "
'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
doc.MailMerge.Fields.AddIf Range:=Selection.Range, MergeField:= _
sFieldName, Comparison:=wdMergeIfGreaterThan,_
CompareTo:="30", TrueText:="{MERGEFIELD sFieldName}", _
FalseText:="0"
'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Selection.TypeParagraph
j = j + 1
Next
End Sub
Please let me know if i need to clarify anything.
Edit: Sample data I'm using from excel
one two three four five
85 50 63 50 41
52 10 84 10 15

As far as I know, the only way to insert a nested field set is to insert the fields directly. Nested fields are tricky - there are a couple of approaches "out there", in the internet. The following is the one I use.
In this variation, the outer-most field is inserted with placeholder text for the inner field code(s). The placeholder text is the field code with typed brackets (not the Ctrl+F9 kind).
The outer field is sent to the Function GenerateNestedField
along with the placeholder string. The function locates the placeholder in the field's code and inserts the real field in its place.
I had to modify my standard code to work with the fact that you're inserting a MailMergeField for the If field. It's necessary to convert the MailMergeField to a regular Word.Field which I do by selecting the inserted field, then taking the first Field in the Fields collection.
Sub IfPlusMergeField()
Dim doc As word.Document
Dim sFieldCode As String, sFieldName As String
Dim fldMerge As word.MailMergeField
Dim fldIf As word.Field
Set doc = ActiveDocument
sFieldName = dt.FieldName
sFieldCode = "{Mergefield " & sFieldName & "}"
Set fldMerge = doc.MailMerge.Fields.AddIf(Range:=Selection.Range, _
MERGEFIELD:=sFieldName, Comparison:=wdMergeIfGreaterThan, _
CompareTo:="30", TrueText:=sFieldCode, _
FalseText:="0")
fldMerge.Select
Set fldIf = Selection.Fields(1)
Debug.Print GenerateNestedField(fldIf, sFieldCode)
End Sub
'Returns the changed field code
Function GenerateNestedField(fldOuter As word.Field, _
sPlaceholder As String) As String
Dim rngFld As word.Range, doc As word.Document
Dim bFound As Boolean
Dim sFieldCode As String
Set doc = fldOuter.Parent
Set rngFld = fldOuter.code
rngFld.TextRetrievalMode.IncludeFieldCodes = True
bFound = rngFld.Find.Execute(findText:=sPlaceholder)
'Get the field code from the placeholder by removing the { }
sFieldCode = Mid(sPlaceholder, 2, Len(sPlaceholder) - 2)
If bFound Then
doc.Fields.Add rngFld, word.WdFieldType.wdFieldEmpty, sFieldCode, False
End If
'Debug.Print fldOuter.code
GenerateNestedField = fldOuter.code
End Function
