EvaluateExpressionsUsing
[this page | pdf | back links]
Function Description
Evaluates a set of expressions (InputExpressions) using
a specified computer language (Language) and (if applicable) given a
specific entry point (EntryPoint) into the expression, substituting specific
values (SubstituteValues) for selected variables (SubstituteNames).
The type of the variable is specified in SubstituteTypes. If Language
is blank then it uses the expression convention described here. The
expressions are evaluated ‘all at once’ in much the same way as spreadsheet
formulae recalculate, i.e. the order of the expressions is irrelevant and the
function will throw an error if there is a circular reference.
The number of units debited from a SessionId to carry
out this function is driven primarily by the complexity of the expression
involved and the number of calls to other Nematrian functions included in the
expression.
