Selected expression from group concatenated in caption

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:35:26 GMT

I need to conserve screen space and want to concatenate the top (selected) expression from an expression group into a caption.

So, the caption is something like "Market Performance by" and I want to append the label of the selected expression (from grouped expressions) to the caption. I do not want to put the expression label in the chart as a title.

Is there a way, without using macros, to do something like GetCurrentSelections(ExpressionGroup)? or get the top Expression label? or is there a 'secret' variable that contains the label of the expression in use?

It seems like there should be a simple solution to this problem.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

When using cyclic or drill-down groups, you can use

='Market Performance by ' & GetCurrentField(groupName)

as Title for your object.

Problem is, Expression Groups do not have groupNames, nor is there any way to name them. I'm hoping for a hidden default groupname.

QV support?

We're talking 8.5 here.

Did you found a solution for this issue? I want to do the same in v10, but I do not know how. The expression group still does not have a name and I am not able to refer to this expression group by using the mentioned function.
