Trying to check if a field exists inside an if-loop and then return

I’m running an if-loop to return a field that I have on my wordpress page, everything works fine except when I try to check if a field-group inside of the current loop has content and then return a . Somehow it looks like I’m stuck in the new loop and I’m not sure how to solve it.

I’m running advanced-custom fields and I have a Flexible group with a group inside.

<?php if( have_rows('content') ):?>
    <?php while ( have_rows('content') ) : the_row();?>
        <?php if( get_row_layout() == 'omrade' ): ?>        
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-12 padding-xs-none">
                    <div class="row">
                        <div class="col">
                            <?php echo '<h5 class="page-header">'.get_sub_field('rubrik').'</h5>'; ?>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <!-- Here is my if statement to see if close_by holds any info  -->
                <?php if( have_rows('close_by') ):?>
                <div class="col-md-6">
                <?php else:?>
                <div class="col-md-12">
                <?php endif;?>
                    <!-- This should be outputted either way, but if "close_by" exists it wont output this at all -->
                    <?php echo get_field('omrade_text');?>
                </div>
            </div>
        <?php endif;?>
    <?php endwhile;?>
<?php endif; ?>

Try altering your if syntax to use if (){...} else {...} instead of if():... else:... endif;
