if statement - Is it possible to use a List in Google Sheets via the OR() function during a comparison (test)? -
specifically in regards conditional formatting, applicable in broader scope of if()
tests within google sheets...
can compare using =if(a1=or("yes","y","yes"))
, achieve same result =if(or(a1="yes"),(a1="y"),(a1="yes"))
? know both expressions simplified removing leading if()
, since i'm desiring use information in context of conditional formatting.
i know above 2 statements not evaluate identically. there different (and simpler) syntax verbose or(<full-expression>,<full-expression>,etc...)
, or stuck that?
well, little more searching under different question yielded answer one: regexmatch()
.
=regexmatch(a1,"yes|y|yes")
evaluates same =if(or(a1="yes"),(a1="y"),(a1="yes"))
. note: per above-linked page, google products use re2 regular expressions.
