ValueList & Expression Name

Anonymous — Fri, 29 May 2015 19:08:22 GMT

Hi,

I have a chart with a ValueList dimension to perform some calculations, I wonder if there is a possibility of putting conditional in expression name, according to the item of ValueList, showing different expression names?

Regards.

this is commonly done when using a cyclic or drilldown group

you just need to place use & to appended the data

for example if you group is a CalendarGroup you could do something like this

='Sum by '& GetCurrentField([CalendarGroup ])

Yes, you can repeat the ValueList() expression as a conditional in the label property.

The expression names are calculated before the dimmentions or expressions itself.

So, the name aren´t dinamically affected by the different dimmention or expression values.

Rob, i guess that the value of expression name can't be dynamic.... So, every time it shows, shows the same name, non based on dimention value... is that right?
