Calculation condition possible values, multiple values

[enfodavid]

I want to be able to easily add and subtract fields from possible values in a calculation condition. If there is any other combination I don't want it to be true.  In the example below I get it to work with two values; Value1 and Value2. 

if(concat(distinct [Field1], ', ') = 'Value1' or
concat(distinct[Field1], ', ') ='Value2' or
concat(distinct[Field1], ', ') ='Value1, Value2',1,0)

I want to be able to do it easily for more than 2 values. For each value added the code would get longer, the next example is with a third added value;

if(concat(distinct [Field1], ', ') = 'Value1' or
concat(distinct[Field1], ', ') ='Value2' or
concat(distinct[Field1], ', ') ='Value3' or
concat(distinct[Field1], ', ') ='Value1, Value2' or
concat(distinct[Field1], ', ') ='Value1, Value3' or
concat(distinct[Field1], ', ') ='Value2, Value3' or
concat(distinct[Field1], ', ') ='Value1, Value2, Value3',1,0)

So the code will get exponentially longer and longer, even though I just want another field value added. Has anyone done anything similar without the hassle of longer and longer code?

How about this?

If(
  SubStringCount(Concat(DISTINCT Field1, ', '), 'Value1') = 1 or
  SubStringCount(Concat(DISTINCT Field1, ', '), 'Value2') = 1 or
  SubStringCount(Concat(DISTINCT Field1, ', '), 'Value3') = 1
, 1, 0)

You can also do this with WildMatch or Like function.

If(
  WildMatch(Concat(DISTINCT Field1, ', '), '*Value1*', '*Value2*', '*Value3*')
, 1, 0)

This would mean that if there are other possible values then it will still get calculated. For example if it's possible to choose Value1 and Value5

[sunny_talwar]

I guess so... but isn't that what you original expression will do to?

[enfodavid]

No, it will exclude everything that isn't exactly just 1, just 2 or just 3 or any combination of the three

[sunny_talwar]

Right, that's true. I got confused. Let me think about it

[sunny_talwar]

This is still not perfect, but see if this looks any better

=If(GetSelectedCount(Field1) = 1,
	If(Match(Concat(DISTINCT Field1, ', '), 'Value1', 'Value2', 'Value3'), 1, 0),
 If(GetSelectedCount(Field1) = 2,
	If(Match(Concat(DISTINCT Field1, ', '), 'Value1, Value2', 'Value1, Value3', 'Value2, Value3'), 1, 0),
 If(GetSelectedCount(Field1) = 3,
 	If(Match(Concat(DISTINCT Field1, ', '), 'Value1, Value2, Value3'), 1, 0), 0)))

It gets the same job done, but the underlying problem remains. If I would add a Value4 it would get larger, and then a Value5, even larger than that. Thanks for the help and your time but the problem remains

[sunny_talwar]

I agree... the only way to make this easy is to create a new field in the script

Table:
LOAD *,
	 If(Match(Field1, 'Value1', 'Value2', 'Value3'), 1, 0) as Flag;
LOAD * INLINE [
    Field1
    Value1
    Value2
    Value3
    Value4
    Value5
];

And use this expression

=Min(Flag)

This should work just like your actual expression
