Quick questions about calculations

[fmphysio]

Hi all,

I've got two short questions I've been thinking about recently which I'd like to run past some of you more experienced members.

1) Case(), if more than one case is true, it will display only the first. How would I calculate if I want to show all that are true separated by "/"? e.g Case(3+3 = 6; "A"; 2+4=6; "B") -> "A/B"

2) Is there a way to repeat a "word" based on another field's number/count? e.g. number = 3, text = "word word word"

Thanks!

1.

Substitute ( 

List (

Case ( 3 + 3 = 6 ; "A" ) ; 

Case ( 2 + 4 = 6 ; "B" )

) ; ¶ ; "/" )

2.

Substitute ( 10^number - 1 ; "9" ; "word" ) 

This works for up to 404 repeats - for more, see:
