IF function… with Text

[tom lawtonParticipant]

Hi-

Is there any way/ workaround to use a Text global in an IF expression? I’d like to use a text menu global to offer named choices, and use that choice in an IF expression.

I’d hoped

IF(group:var==”value1″, expression1, expression2)

would work, but sadly not.. 😉

Thanks for any suggestions!

Sorry Tom – We don’t have support for logical statements with string variables.  You would have to use a numeric variable or have the text variable used in other ways.  For example, if you were plotting either expressions and only showed the plot based on a mask that was tied to a global variable.

We will be thinking about other ways to accommodate this type of functionality.
