      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!

      ~Tom

        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.
