Description

Consider the following example to illustrate setting up a conditional input in Web Data Entry:

After setting up the data entry, you would like to search a specific function for a specific value. However, if this value is not observed during the search, you would like to return a value such as 'N/A'. Can this be achieved?

Issue/Introduction

This article details how to set up a conditional input in Statistica's Web Data Entry (WDE)

Resolution

Yes. However, in order to achieve this, you would need to use a Label. This is due to the fact that data entry is numeric in nature, and therefore cannot return an alphanumeric, or string. The Label object is defined as alphanumeric and will allow both reference numeric values and "N/A" values.
