Analysis Techniques & Strategies

String input

A string input allows you to assign a name to a string expression. Inputs provide tremendous flexibility in that once you assign a string expression to an input, you can then reference that input throughout your analysis technique to retrieve its corresponding expression. This is especially helpful when using lengthy string expressions in your formulas.

  Input values cannot use variables. Also, string inputs are case-sensitive.

Example

The example below assigns the string expression "Yes" to the input YesNo. This allows you to use YesNo anywhere you would reference "Yes".

Input: YesNo("Yes");

If YesNo = "Yes" then {your operation here};
