Hello,

I am using the Switch function and have a Case that can be multiple options. What is the best expression I can use for this?

Can equal either one:

504

525

513

If so, send to Value = email address

Thank you in advance!

Hey there - to my knowledge, Switch cases can only compare single values using "equals" as a comparator. "Contains" is not supported.

To do this, you could nest test switch case inside one of the branches of a condition. Use the "contains" comparator in the condition to catch the one case with several values and deal with the rest using the switch case.

Use this instead of Case:

or(or(equals(variables('numvar'),504),equals(variables('numvar'),525)),equals(variables('numvar'),513))

I would personally use a totally different method, especially if the number of conditions is going to grow. I would make a JSON array like this:

[ { "value": "504", "email": "paul@paul.com" }, { "value": "525", "email": "someone@somewhere.net" }, { "value": "513", "email": "jim@enterprise.com" } ]

Filter that array based on the value, and the take the email address. It's just cleaner and more scalable.

Do you get where I am coming from?

I solved this by using an If statement on the switch.
Something like this;

If(And(condition1,condition2), case1,
If(And(condition1,condition3), case2,
If(And(condition2,condition3), case3,
case4)))

Hope that helps someone,
Cheers,
Dan
