Variables alternate state

maleksafa — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:56:42 GMT

Hello,

is it possible to assign alternate state to a variable without having to create another one? in other words suppose i have the variable $(vPeopleIn) which is

sum

({<H_Flag={'PeopleCount'},JobType=>}

[Count In])

now instead of creating a new variable with the alternate state like that

sum

({Group2<H_Flag={'PeopleCount'},JobType=>}

[Count In])

i want to add the alternate state directly to the variable as if i am saying {Group2}$(vPeopleIn)

thx

No, variables cannot be assigned to an alternate state. Use separate variables instead.

Hi Malek,

Did you try to assign the alternate state to the chart/object itself (under General tab) ?

The same variables would work but this time depending on the alternate state.

This helped me in some cases, hope it helps you too.
