Using a Variable in an Expression in a Bar Chart

Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:01:44 GMT

I'm trying to limit a bar chart to use only the latest date from the underlying data. (Other charts use the data for the latest month.)

The data load sets a variable called vMaxDate - right now the value of vMaxDate is 2012-12-31.

If I set the Expression for the bar chart to

NumericCount({$<BusinessDate={$(vMaxDate)}>} BusinessDate)

I get nothing on the chart. However, if I replace $(vMaxDate) with its value and use

NumericCount({$<BusinessDate={'2012-12-31'}>} BusinessDate)

I get a correct chart.

Dear jerryl_gs,

It's looks to me syntax is correct

can you try like this.

=NumericCount({$<BusinessDate={'$(vMaxDate)'}>} BusinessDate)

else can you post the sample qvw.

Thanks,

Mukram.

Try

NumericCount({$<BusinessDate={"$(vMaxDate)"}>} BusinessDate)

NumericCount({$<BusinessDate={"$(=vMaxDate)"}>} BusinessDate)
