Writing Expression in Text Object

Is there a way to write an expression in the Text Object box. For example I created a Text Object and I wanted it to display Value = Sum(Field). i want it to calculate the Sum(Field) and it does not.

Hello,

Do the following (it's valid for expression labels, button texts, object captions and so)

='Value: ' & Sum(Value)


Hope that helps.

thanks for your response. But is there a way i can get the word "Value" to show up as well? For example I want my output to have the word "Value" then display the Sum(field).

You can use:

= 'Date : ' & =now()

  • ' ' & expression
  • & operation will act as a concatenator
Happy Learning 🙂 !
