If you’re familiar with generic Excel statement Syntax, then you’ll have no problem getting accustomed to writing statements in Cascade.
Firstly, you need a tool with an Expression Editor in order to write an statement. Generally speaking, you will use either a tool or an tool; these each have an Expression Editor.
Here is the syntax for an statement in Cascade:
The condition is a boolean expression to test (e.g., whether or not some statement is true).
The then is the true variable.
The else is the false variable.
So for example, if I wanted to create an statement that will append green apples the value ‘verte’ and red apples the value ‘rouge’, my formula might look something like this:
My statement will look for the value “green” in the [apple] column. If the value in the [apple] column of a particular row is “green”, then the value ‘verte’ would be attributed to that row. If the value is not “green” (e.g., it can be any other value, and we are hoping the only color we might see is red), then the value ‘rouge’ would be attributed to that row.
statements can appear somewhat complex when nesting many conditions and operands. However, there are other available to make writing complex statements with multiple conditions.
You can use statements in Cascade when you need to compare values and assign a result based on the outcome of that comparison.
The function is used to test a condition and return one value if the condition is TRUE, and another value if the condition is FALSE.
The function requires three arguments: a condition, a value if the condition is TRUE, and a value if the condition is FALSE.
The syntax of the function is: IF(condition, then, else)
To compare multiple values, you can use the function in combination with the or R functions.
