SWITCH function
The SWITCH function is one of the logical functions. It is used to evaluate one value (called the expression) against a list of values, and returns the result corresponding to the first matching value. If there is no match, an optional default value may be returned.
Syntax
SWITCH(expression, value1, result1, [default_or_value2, result2], ...)
The SWITCH function has the following arguments:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| expression | The value that will be compared against value1 ...value126. |
| value1 ...value126 | The value that will be compared against expression. |
| result1 ...result126 | The result to be returned if the value1 ...value126 matches to the expression. |
| default | The result to be returned if there are no matches. If the default argument is not specified and there are no matches, the function returns the #N/A error. |
Notes
You can enter up to 254 arguments, i.e., up to 126 pairs of values and results.
