Multiple Outputs in Switch Case Module

[Multiply_Advisors]

Hello Makers, I need your help with this issue I’m having.

So I’m using a Switch Module and I’ve set up multiple cases. Currently the Switch is only outputting one output from my multiple cases even tho all of my cases passed the condition. Here’s a screenshot.

So my input is a date (2024-07-13)
And I’ve setup the patterns to my cases to be that date as well (2024-07-13) hoping that it would output all three.

(In a bigger perspective, there is a possibility of multiple cases passing the condition/pattern and I want all of those that passed the condition to output. Is this possible? and how?)

Thank you

That’s how the switch module works. The next option will only be reached and “tested” when the previous pattern doesn’t match.

For more information, see the module’s documentation in the Help Center.

Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —

I see, is there any module here that does what I was looking for?

[samliew]

You can have an array of collections, but this goes into an Iterator module.

Then, followed by a filter, where you perform the “matches”, and only allow them through if it is what you want.

Then you use an Array Aggregator module to combine the “results” back into an array.

1. Create array of collections

2. Iterate array

3. Add filter

(example shows “2024-07-14”, matching two of the inputs)

4. Aggregate results

Module Export

You can copy and paste this module export into your scenario. This will paste the modules shown in my screenshots above.

1. Copy the JSON code below by clicking the copy button when you mouseover the top-right of the code block
   

2. Enter your scenario editor. Press ESC to close any dialogs. Press CTRLV (paste keyboard shortcut for Windows) to paste directly in the canvas.

3. Click on each imported module and save it for validation. You may be prompted to remap some variables and connections.
