Hi,

Can you please explain me about input box and its use.

Somewhere i have seen a graph with one bar forcasting the future years sales or something. I guess its related to input box.

Thanks in advance.

how do i associate a variable with a bar chart.

as mentioned above, i want to show the forecast

israrkhan · ‎2014-09-01

create a variable AND create an input box.

than in the chart expression, use the variable instead of field name..

like if you have expression, sum(unitprice) - sum(Discount)

you can use variable as replacement of discount, you can take Discount from user in input box..

and change expression like, sum(unitprice) - sum($(variable))

what ever value you will enter in the input box, will come into this variable..
