result to be either scalar or text

EN_9902818 — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 12:54:53 GMT

Hi guys,

I'm trying to do a simple calculation of the middle third rule. What I want to achieve is shown in the spreadsheet but the issue is that if the condition ex/L+ey/B<1/6 is met only then I want the program to calculate the pressure otherwise just get a message like "N/A". Can the result be either a scalar or a text? I tried to put be a scalar with "N/A" for each of its elements but got an error message again, it seems that it accepts only numerical values

Any help will be much appreciated!

cheers,

Eleni

Hi,

I put it in a program and find the solution. Thanks anyway.

Cheers,

Hi,

Strange how this works. So if I use the equal sign to the variable definition, I got an error saying that the variable should be a scalar or a matrix but if I don't and just write in a different row the variable, I go the correct message! But then, I don't get the Pressure although I have define it inside the program.

Any idea why this happens?

cheers,

Eleni
