AND macro

The AND macro is available in HCL® Campaign and HCL Interact.

Syntax

data1 AND data2 data1 &&
data2

Parameters

data1

The numbers to logical AND with the values in data2. This can be a constant value, a column, a cell range, or an expression evaluating to any of the above. For the format definition of data, see the "Macro Function Parameters" section in the chapter in this guide for your HCL product.

data2

The number(s) to logical AND with the values in data1. This can be a constant value, a column, a cell range, or an expression evaluating to any of the above. The number of columns in data2 must equal the number of columns in data1, unless data2 is a constant. For the format definition of data, see the "Macro Function Parameters" section in the chapter in this guide for your HCL product.

Description

AND calculates the logical AND between the two specified data ranges. It returns a new column for each input column, each containing the corresponding column in data1 logically AND-ed to the corresponding column of data2 (that is, the first column of data1 is logically AND-ed to the first column of data, the second column with the second column, and so on).

If data2 is a constant, each value in data1 is logically AND-ed by that value. If data2 contains one or more columns, the calculations are performed on a row-by-row basis between one column from data2 and one column from data2. The first row of data1 is logically AND-ed to the first row value of data2, the second row with the second row, and so on. This row-by-row calculation produces a result for each row up to the last value of the shortest column.

Note: The AND operator can be abbreviated with a double-ampersand ( &&). Use the double-ampersand to separate the two arguments (for example, to specify V1 AND 3, you can simply type V1&&3).

Examples


`TEMP = 1 AND 8` or `TEMP = 1 && 8` Creates a new column named `TEMP` containing the value one (any non-zero number is treated as a one).
`TEMP = V1 && 1` Creates a new column named `TEMP` with the value one for each value of column `V1`.
`TEMP = V1 && V1` Creates a new column named `TEMP` with the value one for each non-zero value in column `V1` and the value zero for each zero in column `V1`.
`TEMP = V1 && V2` Creates a new column named `TEMP`, where each value is the row value of column `V1` logically AND-ed with the corresponding row value of column `V2`.
`TEMP = V1:V3 && V4:V6` Creates three new columns named `TEMP`, `VX`, and `VY`. The column `TEMP` contains the values in `V1` logically AND-ed with the corresponding row values of column `V4`. The column `VX` contains the logically AND-ed values from columns `V2` and `V5`. The column `VY` contains the logically AND-ed values from columns `V3` and `V6`.
`TEMP = V1[10:20] && V2` or `TEMP = V1[10:20] && V2[1:11]` Creates a new column named `TEMP`, where the first 11 cells contain the logically AND-ed result of the values in rows 10-20 of column `V1` by the values in rows 1-11 of column `V2`. The other cells in `TEMP` are empty.
