Re: [amibroker] valuewhen

Hello,
 
date() function returns single string of currently 
selected date 
(not array). As ValueWhen is supposed to work with 
arrays it
can not handle date().I would suggest using 
datenum() function or
3 calls to year(), month() and day() functions 
respectively.
 
These functions work well with 
ValueWhen();
 
ValueWhen( cond1, datenum() );
 
or 
ValueWhen( cond1, year() );

ValueWhen( cond1, month() );

ValueWhen( cond1, day() 
);

Subject: [amibroker] valuewhen

Does valuewhen operates with string expressions 
?
I tried in an Exploration
valuewhen(cond1,date()) or 
valuewhen(cond1,name())
without result(bad arg).
Alternative:writeif(cond1,string1,string2) worked 
well,
although did not give exactly what was 
asked.
Any idea to get the date when cond1 was true as 
result
in an Exploration column ?
