What does Class, Alt, Pick, If, Match, Mixmatch and Wildmatch all have in common?

They are all conditional

functions that can be used in the QlikView script or in the user interface. Personally, I have only used two of them
Class and If which is why I thought it would be interesting to learn a little more about them and their capabilities.
These functions return a value based on a comparison or a condition. Lets take a quick look at each of these.

Class
Class allows you to create buckets/groupings of data. For example, assume you have a data model with order data
and there is a field with the number of days an order is late. Using class, the number of days can be grouped based
on an interval we select. The expression below will create buckets with 30 day intervals:

The buckets will look like the image below.

Alt
The Alt function will return the first parameter that has a valid number representation (including dates). So in the
script below, I can use Alt to check the format of the dates in the TempDate field. If the format matches one of the
parameters, then it is returned otherwise the last parameter in the Alt function is returned. The order of the
parameters indicates the priority order so that can be used to determine how the dates should be interpreted. For
example, should 7/4/2014 be interpreted as the 4th of July in the US or the 7th of April in the UK?

Here are the results:

The TempDate is the original date and the ValidatedDate is the value returned by the Alt function.

Pick
The Pick function will return the expression/value corresponding to the expression that matches the first parameter.
For example, Pick(2, A, B, C) will return B because B is the second expression and Pick(Number, Sum(1+1),
Sum(2+2), Sum(3+3), Sum(4+4), Sum(5+5)) will return 6 if Number = 3. This function is excellent when you want to
generate a random field value, e.g.

If
Everyone has used an If statement at some point whether in QlikView or some other programming language.
If(condition, then , else)

The If statement check a condition (the first parameter) and if the condition is true, it returns the then parameter
otherwise it returns the else parameter.
For example, if(1+1=2, Woo hoo, I can add, Need more practice).

Match, Mixmatch & Wildmatch

These functions are very similar in that they all perform a comparison.

The Match function does a case sensitive comparison between the first parameter and the
expressions
match( str, expr1 [ , expr2,...exprN ] )
Match(X, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr)
If X=Jan, 1 is returned
If X=Feb, 2 is returned

The Mixmatch function does a case insensitive comparison between the first parameter and
the expressions
mixmatch( str, expr1 [ , expr2,...exprN ] )
Mixmatch(X, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr)
If X=Jan, 1 is returned
If X=feb, 2 is returned

The Wildmatch function also does a case insensitive comparison between the first parameter
and the expressions and allows the use of wildcards
wildmatch( str, expr1 [ , expr2,...exprN ] )
Wildmatch(X, Ja*, F?b, mar, Apr)
If X=jan, 1 is returned
If X=Feb, 2 is returned
If X=Mar, 3 is returned

rangsum(),peek and previous,match and date functions and string handling

functions need to check it.
