Dynamic Text Object

[navaneeth79]

Hi all,

Can we create a text  box object with a static statement and a dynamic statement?

for example,

MY  NAME IS NAVANEETH

here MY NAME IS should be seen always

and NAVANEETH should change to some other name if any other file is uploaded into the application.

Thanks,

Navaneeth.

Use an expression in the text box like

='MY NAME IS ' & Maxstring(FieldwithName)

Hi Navneeth,

May be like this:

Here vName= Name of  as you want

='My name is '&$(vName)

='Date is '&Today()

Thanks,

hi Stefan, can I take the filed with name from a file

[swuehl]

Sure, but you need to describe the data source and how you want to extract the data from it.

Is it just a table load?

[navaneeth79]

yes, its table file (excel sheet)

[swuehl]

Ok... but could you be a bit more descriptive in your setting and requirement?

[navaneeth79]

I get data for different services, when I load data into the application , in the main text box that service name should be shown.

From what I've understood so far (but still missing a lot):

='MY NAME IS ' & Concat(DISTINCT ServiceName, ', ')

Coming back to your original question, you can combine a static text with any expression by using a text literal in single quotes and concatenation operator & in combination with your expression that returns the dynamic part.
