field lookup from variable in macro

alerse — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:52:32 GMT

How can I get the value out of my data in a macro?

currently my code looks like this


set var = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject(objID)
prop = var.GetProperties
prop.Layout.Text.v = <I need Target here>
var.SetProperties prop

I have a table that have a table that looks like this:

Level1 Target

L1Text 34.3

L1Text2 22.1

The objID will for example be L1Text and I want to change

prop.Layout.Text.v = <I need Target here>

prop.Layout.Text.v = (if objID = Level1(in the table), display Target)

Any ideas?

Thank you!!

It's usually easiest to do this (without a macro) in the chart with an expression like:

fieldvalue('Target',fieldindex('Level1', 'L1Text'))

A warning -- fieldindex() was not working on the QV Server on some release. So test on the server.

If you have futher questions, can you upload an example qvw so I can be sure I understand?
