Hi,Does anyone have a list of all the IS (date/numeric) type syntax available? I've been trying to find a resource that just lists them all out, but I guess I'm not phrasing my search correctly.
Thanks
I think you did list them all out, both of them. ISDATE and ISNUMERIC are the only two I can think of. They are really only somewhat useful, well actually ISNUMERIC is pretty useless. It should be named ISValueSomethingThatCanBeConvertedToAnyDataTypeThatHasNumbersInIt.
Or to shorten the name ISValueSomethingThatCanBeConvertedToAnIndeterminateNumericType. Actually, I don't that that is any shorter.
Maybe ISValueNumberish?
