Can I make a conditional (if then) expression in Access?

I have a calculated variable R. I want to build an expression in a query such
that another variable Rag = R unless R<7 in which case Rag=7. In other words,
If R<7 then Rag=7 else Rag=R. Is this possible ... I can't figure out how to
do it... thanks.

Thanks, it worked!

Another issue I'm having is actually printing or copying an expression that
I've made. Do you know how to copy and/or print the formula in an expression?
The usually "copy" and "print" options are unavailable when I try.

Thanks,

Presumably this is in the context of a query.

You can copy the field with Ctrl+C, and then paste into Notepad.

You can see the expression by pressing Shift+F2 to show the Zoom window.

You can see the entire SQL statement by choosing SQL View from the View
menu.
