Switch Equal expression with multiple values

Posted on 19 Apr 2021 21:32:08 by 146

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

    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

    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?

    Use this instead of Case:

     

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

    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.
