I'd like to have my user enter a path as input variable. e.g strUserpath = 'G:\Bob\May' Then I want to load a list of company and file locations e.g.
Company Location
ABC \ABC\Broker\1234412
ABC \ABC\Brokers\123413
XYZ \Sales\Forecasts\12345
DEF \Reports\Activity\113414
and create a straight table with a new column whose expression is:
$(strUserpath) & Location
But this doesn't work; it doesn't seem to recognize strUserpath as a string. The column just shows the Location.
I tried =concat($(strUserpath),Location)) but that just returned a blank column.
Once again, the documentation is no help,
When using a variable for text replacement in the script or in an expression,
the syntax $(variablename ) is used. $(variablename) expands to the value in variablename.
because it sure doesn't seem to be doing that for me!
Hi kevinbmsr,
could be, that your variable is not recognized as string when expanded.
Try enclosing your variable within single quotes:
='$(strUserpath)' & Location
See also attached.
Hope this helps,

Hi kevinbmsr,
you can try with the expression ='$(strUserpath)' & Location
Hope it helps you
