GetCurrentField using variable name

Anonymous — Sun, 17 Sep 2017 11:31:23 GMT

Colleagues, good day!

I have one cycle group, which use in list of expressions, which contain my dimension fields.

How can i get names of stored dimension inside expressions, using GetCurrentField func?

now this func returns the name of variable, not name of dimension.

There's test model in attachment.

Thanks. !

=GetFieldSelections('Test')

May be use GetCurrentField('Test') or GetCurrentField(Test) without quotes. If you see a red line that is fine it should give you the current field in the group.

Oops i just saw your file.

Try this:

= $(= GetCurrentField(Test))
