D toc

Excerpt

Tests whether a set of values is not valid for a specified data type.

  • For a tested value, this function returns true or false .
  • Inputs can be literal values or column references.

You can define a conditional test in a single step for valid values. See IFMISMATCHED Function.

Info

NOTE: This function is similar to the ISVALID function, which tests for validity against a specified data type. However, unlike the ISVALID function, the ISMISMATCHED function also matches against missing values. See VALID Function.

snippetBasic

Column reference example:

D lang syntax
RawWrangletrue
Typeref
showNotetrue
WrangleTextdelete row:(ismismatched(Qty, 'Integer') || (Qty < 0))

ismismatched(Qty, 'Integer') || (Qty < 0)

Output: Returns true when the value in the Qty column does not contain a valid Integer and the value is less than zero.

Numeric literal example:

D lang syntax
RawWrangletrue
Typeref
showNotetrue
WrangleTextderive type:single value: ismismatched('ZZ', 'State')

ismismatched('ZZ', 'State')

Output: Returns true, since the value ZZ is not a valid U.S. State code.
