  Key Concepts: 
  A case statement formula is a type of formula used in SAP BusinessObjects Data Federator (EIM-DI-DF) to define a set of conditions and the corresponding actions to be taken when those conditions are met. It is similar to an IF-THEN statement in programming, where a certain action is taken depending on the result of the condition. 
  
  How to use it: 
  A case statement formula is used to define a set of conditions and the corresponding actions to be taken when those conditions are met. The syntax for a case statement formula is as follows: CASE WHEN  THEN  ELSE  END. The condition can be any valid expression, such as a comparison between two values or a comparison between a value and a constant. The action can be any valid expression, such as an arithmetic operation or a function call. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using case statement formulas, it is important to remember that the order of the conditions matters. The first condition that evaluates to true will be the one that is executed, so it is important to make sure that the most specific conditions are listed first. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all possible conditions are accounted for in the formula, otherwise unexpected results may occur.
