NOTEQUAL Function

Use:Compares multiple fields or variables to a specified value to determine if all of their values are not equal. This function uses AND logic where each value being compared must not equal the source value in order to return a no equal value for the group.

You can compare values with or without regard to case (case sensitive or case insensitive). For example, in a case-insensitive comparison, abc is the same as ABC or aBc.

Syntax:
{NOTEQUAL( «no case» , «compare_to» , «value1» , «value2»,,,, )}
Arguments:

«no case»
    1 = case insensitive
    0 = case sensitive
«compare_to»
    Field to compare other values to
«value1»
    Field to be compared 
«value2»,,,, (to «valuen»)
    Each additional field to be compared 
Returns:1 = Not equal

0 = Equal

Example 1:

Case insensitive
Fields: 
txt_field = Test
txt_other_field1 = text
txt_other_field2 = Tests
{NOTEQUAL( 1 , {template_name_.txt_field} , {template_name_.txt_other_field1} , {template_name_.txt_other_field2} )}

Result: 1

Example 2:

Case insensitive
Fields: 
txt_field = Test
txt_other_field1 = Test
txt_other_field2 = test
{NOTEQUAL( 1 , {template_name_.txt_field} , {template_name_.txt_other_field1} , {template_name_.txt_other_field2} )}

Result: 0

Example 3

Case sensitive
Fields: 
txt_field = Test
txt_other_field1 = Test
txt_other_field2 = test
{NOTEQUAL( 0 , {template_name_.txt_field} , {template_name_.txt_other_field1} , {template_name_.txt_other_field2} )}

Result: 0

Example 4

Case sensitive
Fields:
txt_field = Test
txt_other_field1 = test
txt_other_field2 = test
{NOTEQUAL( 0 , {template_name_.txt_field} , {template_name_.txt_other_field1} , {template_name_.txt_other_field2} )}

Result: 1
