Is it possible to have or simulate a IF-THEN-ELSE construct in the Alerts (without ACSIL)?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I am aware of the spreadsheet functions; my question is, is this possible with simple Alerts (without the use of spreadsheet)? Thanks.

Yes, you just have to string multiple IF statements together. This is the same way you would do it in Excel.

For example, if A > B then 1, else if B > C, then 2, else 0 would be written as:
=IF(A > B, 1, IF(B > C, 2, 0))

All this time I've been under the mistaken impression I couldn't use IF statements in Simple Alerts. Good to know going forward.
