Description of the illustration presentv.gif


Purpose

The PRESENTV function is relevant only for interrow calculations. It can be used only within the model_clause of the SELECT statement and then only on the right-hand side of a model rule. It returns expr1 when, prior to the execution of the model_clause, cell_reference exists. Otherwise it returns expr2.

Examples

In the following example, if a row containing sales for the Mouse Pad for the year 2000 exists, then the sales value for the Mouse Pad for the year 2001 is set to the sales value for the Mouse Pad for the year 2000. If the row does not exist, then a row is created with the sales value for the Mouse Pad for year 20001 set to 0.
