If function in a data tag

[Gal]

Hi Everyone, is that make sense? How can I make it work?

I don't think IF is a valid Data Tag function value. You either have to use the Trinary function or use a worksheet if.

This is a perfect case for the Data Tag version of If/Then, also referred to the trinary operator.

 

Put the result if true before an @ sign and the result if false after a colon (:) and put the test value in the middle.

 

So something like:

 

'OBS'@#WinDoor 6.0#.#Opaque Glass#:''

 

So in your case:

#∆X#@#∆X#>#∆Y#:#∆Y#

 Be careful because any extra spaces can impact the operation.

 

Alternatively you could use a Worksheet IF, but I am not certain what you would need to get the ∆X and ∆Y values into the the worksheet format.

 

#WS_IF(condition, Value if True, Value if False)#

 

But you can not use the Data Tag hashtag surrounded format inside the WS function. It has to be pure worksheet definition.

Oh, thanks so much!

Is that a vectorscrip phrasing?

[Pat Stanford]

No Vectorscript involved.  The # (Hashtag) version are pure Data Tag.  The #WS_  # version is a Data Tag function that executes Worksheet functions (as if they were in a database row) inside a data tag.
