Conditional Content - Show on Condition instead of Hide on Condition? Can it be done?
I'm making a large number of documents using the mail-merge approach connecting Writer to Base but I think it would be more efficient if I could Show hidden text on Condition as opposed to Hide hidden text on Condition.
For example I have 5 sentences and only one sentence should show if a condition from a Base field is true.
Currently I have to wrangle 4 hide conditions for each of the sentences that should remain hidden which can become a pain. With 5 sentences it means I have to manage about 20 hide conditions for the 5 sentences.
Example table
95.2 93.1 87.0 97.8 95.6 99.1
What I would like to do
SentenceA: The value is nearly 95 (Show if value > 94.5 and < 95.5) SentenceB: The value is way above 95 (Show if value > 97) SentenceC: The value is way below 95 (Show if value < 93 and > 90) SentenceD: The value is really, really way below 95 (Show if value < 90)
Is their a simple way to do this or do I have to go into Extensions territory?
Thanks for your help.
And what are the 4 hide conditions, say, for SentenceA?
Hi Mike
thanks for taking the time to reply. There are no hide conditions (in my ideal universe) for SentenceA - that's exactly what I'm asking about.
Is there a way to hide text and only show it on condition - without having to define lots of hide conditions for the other alternative sentences? Using Hide on Condition in the toy example above I have to define around N(number of sentences) X N-1(the desired sentence) / N for each sentence - so each sentence has 4 compound hide conditions. Unless I am misunderstanding which is very possible
I hope this clarifies my question - please let me know if I can provide more info.
Cheers
I asked exactly for those "around N(number of sentences) X N-1(the desired sentence) / N for each sentence" - to understand how do you see that.
In the actual reality, if you have a single condition to show something, it means that you have exactly one condition to hide it, which is negation of the condition to show.
