Match limitation

Hi

I experience that the match(a, b, c, d, ...) function does not work when the list of compare elements (b, c, d) get's too long. Is there a match-limitation, saying the number of arguments can only be < 255 or similar?

If yes, how to overcome this?

Thank you - Marcel

Hi

Actually quote (') problem could occur in any context.

In a pivot diagram.

I have to fields A (1000 values) and B (1000 values) and I want to check matches of values against each other. The fields shall not be linked in the data model.

Could you send an example?

we found one of the compare strings contained a quote (')... This made the function call fail.

So no argument limitation... 🙂

Sorry for the inconveniences & thx for the help!
