How can I display in a label the value of a variable?

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:23:17 GMT

Figures of year 2009 must be compared with year 2008 and next year 2010 with 2009.

So I don't want to set a label with "2009" or "2008" but with the contents of a variable.

In the loadscript I have:

Let YearZ = year(date())

Let YearY = year(date())-1

Let YearX = year(date())-2

There must be a way to display (just one of) these variables in a label.

Who can point me to the documentation where this is explained?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

in the label you have to write

=$(YearZ)

you can also concatenate these Variables

=$(YearZ)&' vs. '&$(YearY)

or something like this.
