$ used in calculated dimension

Report Inappropriate Content · ‎2016-06-02

Hello ,

I was analyzing an expression built by some other developer.

There is some if condition in a variable,

say , var1=if (var=20,'ABCDEF','VWXYZ')

now we are showing this in calculated dimesnion like

$(=$(var1))

the inner dollar evaluates value, what about other outer dollar.

Thanks

Actually outer $ evaluates the expression as inner $ just represents the IF statement as String

Not entirely.

The "inner dollar", upon evaluation, will replace the inner $() stuff with the current content of the var1 variable. Leading to something like:

$(=if (var=20,'ABCDEF','VWXYZ'))

Only then, the "outer dollar" will be replaced with the result of evaluating the IF expression (as caused by the leading equal sign).

Best,

Peter
