Hi everybody,

I Have i lil problem with qlikview field label,

Now i want to use "LABELX" as definition of other fields, In the same tab there are no problems, but when i tried to use "LABELX" in another tab of my application, "LABELX" is unknow,

Somebody have solution?

Thanks

put the label text into a variable and use it wherever you need

It is not possible to reference an expression outside the object where that expression is.

You can define the expression as a variable then use the variable where you need

Hope this helps

Ok it seem the best thing to do but i have a question, i have a lot of calculated expression that depend each on other,

So can i use a variable to define another variaable? for exemple lets say that i define vX=a+b

can i use when define vY=vX+c or i have to do vY=a+b+c ?

thanks
