GetCurrentSelections() Formatting

jerryr125 — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 12:52:40 GMT

Hi -

With the GetCurrentSelections() formula is it possible to do the following :

1. Make the Field names BOLD and the values not bold - or a different color ?

2. Between each select combination of a fields and values - add a ";" ?

Example:

Year: 2020; Month: Feb, Mar; Product: Ice Cream Bars

Thanks so much - Jerry

It is not possible.

As an Alternative you could try (no text formatting though):

'Year: '&GetFieldSelections(Year)&'; '&'Month: '&GetFieldSelections(Month)&'; '&'Product: '&GetFieldSelections(Product)

In order to figure out which fields to use, you could try the approach detailed here:

Note that if you place your expression, in sections, into a text objects, you can use the text object's formatting capabilities to set bold / colors / etc. However, the expression itself can't control text formatting.
