changing expression labels to be user friendly

becki_kain — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

I have two pivot tables with expressions which build on each other. so far, my naming has been very simple "AA1, AA2, AAA1" but how can i change the naming (what are the rules for expressions) to change AA1 to "Industry Share" and AA2 to "Ford Segment"? can we do spaces or do they have to all be ""?

thanks

In the Label section of your expression tab you can give the name however you want not necessary to use "". Can you show us an example to what exactly you are trying to do. ?

BB15-BB12

//FCA Seg Shift

labeled BB18 where bb15 is Round((((BB5/$(total_sales_vol_tp1))-(BB8/$(total_sales_vol_tp2)))*100),.1) and bb12 is round((100*((((BB5/BB1)-(BB8/BB2))*BB1))/$(total_sales_vol_tp1)),.1)

I guess i could just expand the full expression without having the extra expression just seems like it makes the final expressions overly complex.

Can you share some screenshots of where you want the Label to be?

things like that instead of AA1 AAB, etc...

Yes you can use it probably use like [Industry Share] [Ford Segment] .
