Set modifiers in to a variable

Thu, 17 Jul 2014 06:26:54 GMT

I am Creating a Dashboard for Profit & Loss. I have used the following code to access Period to date figure depend on the user selection.

It is working perfectly.

if (ValueList('Direct Income','Direct Expense','Gross Profit','Other Expense','Profit Before Other Income','Other Income','Net Profit')='Direct Income',

sum({$<PeriodID={"<=$(=Max(PeriodID)-12)"},[Financial Year]={$(=Max([Financial Year])-101)},Period=,[Account Type]={'D'}>}$(eAccountBalance)),

I have tried to set up a variable for the PeriodID and Financial Year(User Selection) and cried to used it in the main expression as below but the variable vSetPTD initialization is giving me an error.

vSetPTD

PeriodID={"<=$(=Max(PeriodID)-12)"},[Financial Year]={$(=Max([Financial Year])-101)},Period=

**Main Expression

sum({$<$(vSetPTD),[Account Type]={'D'}>}$(eAccountBalance)),

Is their a way to overcome this issue.

Thank you.

While defining variable put the string within single quotes like:

vSetPTD

= 'PeriodID={"<=$(=Max(PeriodID)-12)"},[Financial Year]={$(=Max([Financial Year])-101)},Period='

Hi,

Try like this

Variable :

vSetPTD (No = in the variable declaration)

PeriodID={"<=$(=Max(PeriodID)-12)"},[Financial Year]={$(=Max([Financial Year])-101)},Period=

Expression : = sum({$<$(vSetPTD),[Account Type]={'D'}>}$(eAccountBalance)),
