Evan, Please forgive my Ignorance; What can a and b be equal to in Formulas' logical functions, like IF and IFS?
I am thinking if something evaluates to true how do I use this to - list - transclude - Use macro - Show some text etc... - Set a variable/field I imagine there is a way to write a list filter if a formula it true to show when true (or False) etc... I expect knowing this may help the less sophisticated users (still me at this point) make use of formula.
