If a CONDITION (or ACTION for that matter) is not to apply for a given rule you should be able to simply leave the cell empty.<br><br>

Hi, I'm new to Drools and I'm implementing rules using Excel decision tables<br>
and I need some of your help.<br>
<br>
I have some rules in which depending on a condition the following condition<br>
is not necessary, how can I define a table that akllows to define this?<br>
<br>
For instance I have:<br>
CONDITION CONDITION CONDITION ACTION<br>
Y<br>
result1<br>
N N Y<br>
result2<br>
N N N<br>
result3<br>
N Y N<br>
result4<br>
N Y Y<br>
result5<br>
<br>
In the example above (I hope you can see it right) if the first condition<br>
value is Y the other 2 conditions values don't matter and despite their<br>
value the result will always be the same.<br>
I wouldn't want to have to write all the possible combinations as these in<br>
the real case will add a lot of complexity to the tables.<br>
<br>
How can I accomplish this? Is it possible to do it in Excel? If not, how can<br>
I do it in another way (for instantance with guvnor web-based tables).<br>
<br>
<br>
