if else logic at script level

[#1]

I want to compute if else logic at script level based on user selection. is it possible ?

I know it is very mush possible to do by writing if else expression on QV report. Howerver i want to push the expresion to script level. How do i do that ?

Example: A user wants to toggle between filed A and B on the fly by clicking on radio buttion (Flag). So the formula would be something like if (flag=1,A,B). However i want to write the formula at the script level not in the report. How do i do that ?

You may hand the values from a listbox into a variable. In the script you can reference to this variable and thus run different loops or different conditions.

If I got your idea then you can use at least 2 variables - one for radio button value (0 or 1) and another for showing write field.

so in script it will be If '$(flag)'='1' Then SET variable2='A' Else SET variable2='B';

Then in analytic (QV report) you can use the variable2 for showing field user choosed, e.g. If('$(variable2)'='A',[Field A],[Field B])

I am still struggling to find the correct solution to my problem. Here is how my code looks like. Basically what I am trying to do is to allow user to select lag 0,1,2,3 and display data accordingly as per the selection.

The issue here is; due to inner join (Load * inline function) on table "Drop"; record count blows up from 350K to around 1500K, resulting into virtual memory error. How do I avoid increasing record count? Is there a way to create variable at script level and allow users to select that variable at QV UI and remove existing load inline function?
