# ArrayContains

The **ArrayContains** function searches for a specific value in a list or array. If the value is found, the function returns `True`, otherwise it returns `False`.

### Syntax

```
ArrayContains(list, target)
```

Function arguments:

|            |                                                                                         |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **list**   | (required) A column containing lists or arrays to reference when searching for a value. |
| **target** | (required) A text string or column containing the value to find.                        |

### Example

A table contains an *Array* column that returns list values from the *Product Type PRM* list parameter. You can use the **ArrayContains** function to search the *Array* column list for the value in the *Product Type* column.

```
ArrayContains([Array], [Product Type])
```

You can also use the function to determine whether or not the value in the *Product Type* column is currently selected in the *Product-Type-PRM* list parameter.

```
ArrayContains([Product-Type-PRM], [Product Type])
```

When the value in the *Product Type* column is found in the *Array* column or *Product Type PRM* list parameter, the function output is `True`. If the value is not found, the function output is `False`.
