Continuing lengthy Expression

AG617

Hello - Is there a recommended way to continue a lengthy Expression in a new Sequence? 

I've put together an Expression to schedule Zones using the IFS statement but seem to have reached a character limit. I tried continuing it as a new IFS statement in a new sequence but only the items in the first sequence are able to be defined - every item which falls within the parameters of the second sequence return as "undefined" in my schedule.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You could try to divide your expression into two seperate properties, handle them accordingly, and then unite their outcome in a third property.

Prop 1a:

 

if storey > 5 then
  <first half of code>
else
  <some very special value>
endif

 

Prop 1b:

 

if storey <= 5 then
  <second half of code>
else
  <another very special value>
endif

 

Prop 2:

 

ifs
  Prop 1a # <some very special value> then Prop 1a
  Prop 1b # <another very special value> then Prop 1b
  true then <failure value>
