Overview of the condition types and their syntax

These are the condition types:

Any Value

Applies to all data types.

The condition cell remains blank.

The condition evaluates to true for any parameter value.

Parameter Value Comparison

Applies to all data types.

Compare the input parameter value with a constant value specified in the matrix.

Syntax:

Parameter
						Operator
						Value

Select the operator from a drop-down list with operators specific for the data-type.

The value must be specified or selected and must be a valid value for the data type.

This table shows operators for data types:


Data Type	Operator	Description
STRING	=	True if strings match, case-sensitive
	<>	True if strings do not match, case-sensitive
	contains	True if the parameter contains the specified string value
	notContaining	True if the parameter does not contain the specified string value
	startsWith	True if the parameter starts with the specified string value
	notStartingWith	True if the parameter does not start with the specified string value
	endsWith	True if the parameter ends with the specified string value
	notEndingWith	True if the parameter does not end with the specified string value
INTEGER, DECIMAL, DATETIME, DATE	=	Equals
	<	Less than
	<=	Less than or equal to
	>	Greater than
	>=	Greater than or equal to
BOOLEAN	<>	Does not equal
	=	Equals
	<>	Does not equal
HYPERLINK, USER, GROUP, CODE	=	True if strings match, case-sensitive
HYPERLINK, USER, GROUP, CODE	<>	True if strings do not match, case-sensitive

Parameter Comparison

Applies to all data types.

Compare the input parameter value with another input parameter

Syntax:

Parameter
						Operator
						Parameter

The operator can be selected from a drop-down list with operators specific for the data-type. The same operators as in the Parameter Value Comparison apply.

Both parameters that are used in the comparison must have the same data type.

Parameter Between Values

Applies to these data types: INTEGER, DECIMAL, DATETIME, DATE.

Compare the input parameter value with a start and end value. The comparison is including the specified values.

Syntax:

Parameter
						BETWEEN start value AND end
							value

(Translates to ‘start value’ >= ‘column parameter’ <= ‘end value’)

Parameter in Set

Applies to data type: STRING

Compare the input parameter value with a list of constant values, comma separated. The condition evaluates to True if at least one value matches the input parameter value. Comparison is case sensitive.

Syntax:

Parameter
						IN SET [Value1,Value2,Value3,…]

Note: Do not use spaces after the comma.

Parameter not in Set

Applies to data type: STRING

Compare the input parameter value with a list of constant values, comma separated. The condition evaluates to True if none of the specified values matches the input parameter value. Comparison is case sensitive.

Syntax: Parameter NOT IN SET [Value1,Value2,Value3,…]

Note: Do not use spaces after the comma.

Parameter in Codes

Applies to data type: STRING

Compare the input parameter value with a list values selected from a Codelist. The condition evaluates to True if at least one code matches the input parameter value. Comparison is case sensitive.

Syntax:

Parameter IN CODES
							[CodelistName:Value1,Value2,Value3,…]

Parameter not in Codes

Applies to data type: STRING

Compare the input parameter value with a list values selected from a Codelist. The condition evaluates to True if none of the selected codes matches the input parameter value. Comparison is case sensitive.

Syntax: Parameter NOT IN CODES [CodelistName:Value1,Value2,Value3,…]
