EQUAL Function

Use: Compares multiple fields or variables to a specified value to determine if all of their values are equal. This function uses AND logic where each value being compared must equal the source value in order to return an 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. Note: The COMPNOCASE function performs a case-insensitive comparison of two strings. The NOTEQUAL function compares multiple fields or variables to a specified field or variable to determine if they are not equal. Syntax: {EQUAL( «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 = Equal 0 = Not equal Example 1: Case insensitiveFields: txt_field = Testtxt_other_fiel

ORNOTEQUAL Function

Use: Compares multiple fields or variables to a specified value to determine if any of their values are not equal. This function uses OR logic where any value being compared may not equal the source value in order to return an 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. Note: The OREQUAL function compares multiple fields or variables to a specified field or variable to determine if any are equal. Syntax: {ORNOTEQUAL( «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 You can type "PICK: to display the Picklist window for selecting a picklist to determine if any of its values is not equal to the source value. «value2»,,,, (to «valuen») Each additional field to be compared Returns: 1 = Not equal 0 = Eq
