Expression<\/td>\nExpression, evaluated to scalar value<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Value1, Value2, Value3,\u2026<\/td>\nA value to be compared to the expression result<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Result1, Result2, Result3, \u2026<\/td>\nResult in case value matches the result of the expression<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ElseValue<\/td>\nResult in case result<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
