Issue with variable in expression

hi all,

ive got the following variable vActualYear = year(today()) and I want to use ist in the following expression:

Sum({<Year ={'$(vActualYear)'}>}Amount), but it is not working!

I also tried :

  • Sum({<Year =$(vActualYear)>}Amount)
  • Sum({<Year ={$(vActualYear)}>}Amount)
  • Sum({<Year ='$(vActualYear)'>}Amount)

and none of these worked. It is working properly when I use:

Sum({<Year ={'2018'}>}Amount)

 

Can someone ple help me? Thanks!

Hi, 

Both of this will work fine:

Sum({<Year ={$(=vActualYear)}>}Amount)

Sum({<Year ={$(vActualYear)}>}Amount)

You have a problem with variable, you should add '=' in your expression.

In this case you will calculate vActualYear on the application level

Thanks,
