Formula Question

Aaron_Bowen
7 - Meteor

Hi, 

 

I was wondering if there is a way to pull all values from a field into a formula. For instance: [FIELD] IN ("[ALL VALUES]"). i want to use an app with a textbox, but if the textbox is empty I want to pass all of the values. Otherwise, I would use the textbox value to replace the "[ALL VALUES" portion of the formula. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Aaron

@Aaron_Bowen is all values the name of one of your fields or is it shorthand representing all fields in your data set?

It is shorthand for ALL Values in the field. The field contains many, many values that change frequently.

You can use a summarize tool to create an all values field by concatenating the field to form a single string. Then you can append this field to your data set and use your in function with the [all values] field that you created.
