Restrict submission of form if geopoint is not set within the correct city?

Hello, after I used pulldata on geopoint to extract full addres to field named "address", I used this calculation in .xls form for a required question: "Is geopoint within Zlatar Bistrica city?":

if(contains(${address},'Zlatar Bistrica'), 'yes', null)

So, the result is that form can't be submitted if the geopoint is set ouside the city.

 

Now I'm working on a same form for a neighbour city called "Zlatar". But if I use analog calculation:

 

if(contains(${address},'Zlatar'), 'yes', null)

it is obvious that a geopoint can be set in city "Zlatar Bistrica", because contains "Zlatar" . It shoudn't be posible, so how can I write a calculation for an address that must contain "Zlatar" and must NOT contain "Zlatar Bistrica" at the same time? 

Thanks very much!

Hi Željko,

One way to go about this is to also check to make sure the address does not include Zlatar Bistrica:

if(contains(${address},'Zlatar' and not(contains(${address}, 'Zlatar Bistrica'))), 'yes', null)

I will note that null is not a valid keyword or function in XLSForm - '' represents an empty value.
