Set multiple variables with Set function?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 33

So, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this but I'm hoping someone can guide me in another way to do what I'm doing.  I have the below If statement (I actually have four of them that are similar but just set the variables to different values based on the condition):

 

If(
 And(
 varProductType = "Advanced",
 varCareType = "Plus"
 ),
 UpdateContext(
 {
 varDescription_3: Filter(
 Products,
 ProductDescription = ddoCare.SelectedText.Value & " for " & cboDescription_1.Selected.ProductDescription
 ),
 varDescription_4: Filter(
 Products,
 ProductDescription = ddoCare.SelectedText.Value & " for " & cboDescription_2.Selected.ProductDescription
 ),
 varDescription_5: Filter(
 Products,
 ProductDescription = ""
 ),
 varDescription_6: Filter(
 Products,
 ProductDescription = ""
 ),
 varDescription_7: Filter(
 Products,
 ProductDescription = ""
 )
 }
 )
)

 

I have come to the point where I need to make the variables Global.  However, from everything I have read, I can use the Set function to set multiple variables at once like you can with UpdateContext.  I really don't want to have to create an If statement for every single variable because I have three more If statements like the one above so I would end up with 20 If statements.  I could do but it just seems like there would be a better way.

 

Any thoughts?

    Hi @Tarterman ,

    Actually not much more code for global

    If(
     varProductType = "Advanced" && varCareType = "Plus",
     Set(
     varDescription_3,
     Filter(
     Products,
     ProductDescription = ddoCare.SelectedText.Value & 
     " for " & cboDescription_1.Selected.ProductDescription
     )
     );
     Set(
     varDescription_4,
     Filter(
     Products,
     ProductDescription = ddoCare.SelectedText.Value & 
     " for " & cboDescription_2.Selected.ProductDescription
     )
     );
     Set(
     varDescription_5,
     Filter(
     Products,
     ProductDescription = ""
     ),
     );
     Set(
     varDescription_6,
     Filter(
     Products,
     ProductDescription = ""
     );
     Set(
     varDescription_7,
     Filter(
     Products,
     ProductDescription = ""
     )
     )
    )

    Thanks @WarrenBelz.  That was way easier than I thought.  For some reason, I thought that a semicolon marked the end of a statement (which it does) but I didn't realize you could do that in the middle of another statement.  Thanks again for the help.
