User Defined Function - how to handle multiple and complex conditions

[dieffen]

I have to report if health care personnel are up to date on vaccinations by the CDC definition. I wanted to create a UDF to use in a query that would return a 1 if up-to-date and a 0 if they are not. I'm getting #Error on records that don't meet the criteria...also, some of the parameters are null because they didn't get the primary vax or recommended boosters and not sure if how to best handle.

Up-to-date criteria

Psuedo-code
Age <50
50 and [Primary Series Complete]="Yes"
• If "Janssen" and received 1st booster more than 2 months from primary then up-to-date.
• if Pfizer of Moderna and received first booster more than 5 months from 2nd dose of primary, then up-to-date.
50 or over
• Primary Series Complete, if J&J and received 1st booster more than 2 months from primary and received 2nd booster 4 months after 1st booster then up-to-date.
• Primary Series Complete, if Pfizer of Moderna and received first booster more than 5 months from 2nd dose of primary and received 2nd booster 4 months after 1st booster, then up-to-date.

you can easily use a Truth table in excel, listing each conditions and the expected result for the condition.
automatically if neither conditions are met the return is 0.
