Syntax
Operand1 AND Operand2
The operands can either be entered directly or as a Variable and can be
of the type
Text , Number or Date/Time . The result type is always a number ( 1
= true, 0 = false). The following cases are possible:
Operand1 Operand2 Result
1 1 1
0 1 0
1 0 0
0 0 0
Examples
Operand1 Operand2 Result Example Remarks
Operands of the same type:
Number Number Number
5 AND 4 --> 1
4 AND 0 --> 0 Numbers larger than 0 are inter-
preted as
1 (true).
Text Text Number "Metrohm" AND "AG" --> 1
"" AND "AG" --> 0
An empty character string ( "" ) is
interpreted as 0 (false), everything
else as 1 (true). This means that the
first operation corresponds to 1 AND
1 --> 1.
Time Time Number Time(1999;10;07) AND
Time(1999;10;07) --> 1 Time() : see function Time(Date)
Operands of different types:
Number Text Number 1.2 AND "1.2" --> 1
0 AND "1" --> 1
0 AND "0" --> 1
0 AND "" --> 0
Before the operation an operand of
the type Number is converted to the
type Text , as the conversion from
Text to Number makes no sense.
This means that in the 2
nd
operation
the 0 is converted to "0" , which cor-
responds to the logical value 1 (true)
as every non-empty character string
is interpreted as 1.
Text Number Number "Metrohm" AND 1.2 --> 1 The same rules apply here as for the
previous operation.
Number Time Number 2.0 AND Time(1999;10;7) -->
1
0 AND Time(1999;10;07) --> 0
Before the operation an operand of
the type
Date/Time is converted to
the type Number ; all dates from 30
December 1899 are interpreted as 1
(true).
Time Number Number Time(1999;10;7) AND 2.5 -->
1 The same rules apply here as for the
previous operation.
Text Time Number "Metrohm" AND
Time(1999;10;7) --> 1
"" AND Time(1999;10;07) -->
Before the operation is carried out
an operand of the type
Date/Time is
converted to the type Text and each
