'-' is passing instead of ''(no value) in UI

Hi Team,

I had a Set Variable action on the text box,

=if(getselectedcount(x)=1, x,'')

but that variable Is storing '-' instead of ''.

Could some one tell how to achieve this.

Thanks,

Pranathi.

I  am  not sure I understand your issue

Replace(if(getselectedcount(x)=1, x,''),'-',' ')

=if(getselectedcount(x)=1, x,'')

if x is not selected '' will be evaluated as null so its showing '-'

try

=if(getselectedcount(x)=1, x,' ')

there is a space ' ' between the quotes for it to show no text.

Probably means that there is sometihng wrong with your expression.

What do you get if you put this expression in your text box?

='x sel.cnt = ' & getselectedcount(x) & chr(10) &

'Result = ' & if(getselectedcount(x)=1, x, ' ')

The syntax is correct, so there must be something wrong with your logic. Can you post an sample file?
