IN()

Is item in list?

Returns a Yes/No expression, as follows:

  • TRUE if the search target matches at least one item in the search value.
  • FALSE if the search target matches does not match an item in the search value.

Note: The match is case-insensitive: upper- and lower-case letters are equivalent.

Sample usage

IN("a", {"a", "b", "c"}) returns TRUE

IN("bc", {"a", "b", "c"}) returns FALSE

IN("d", {"a", "b", "c"}) returns FALSE

IN("Red", {"I'm bored!"}) returns TRUE

IN("@", LIST([Email])) answers the question: is the value of the Email column exactly @ and nothing else? Equivalent to ([Email] = "@"). See also: LIST()

IN(LEFT([Sentence], 1), {".", "?", "!"}) answers the question: is the left-most character of the value of the Sentence (LEFT([Sentence], 1)) a period (.), question mark (?), or exclamation mark (!)? Equivalent to CONTAINS(".?!", LEFT([Sentence], 1)). See also: CONTAINS(), LEFT()

IN(USEREMAIL(), AppUsers[Email]) answers the question: is the current app user's email address (USEREMAIL()) found in the list of Email addresses in the AppUsers table (AppUsers[Email])? See also: USEREMAIL()

IN(CONTEXT("ViewType"), {"Deck", "Gallery", "Table"}) answers the question: is the currently-displayed view's type Deck, Gallery, or Table? Equivalent to OR((CONTEXT("ViewType") = "Deck"), (CONTEXT("ViewType") = "Gallery"), (CONTEXT("ViewType") = "Table")). See also: CONTEXT(), OR()
