No. The vUserComnayCode variable looks fine. You need to change the expression as sum( {<CompanyCode={$(=vUserCompanyCode)}>} NetSales).. Since you are using formula in your vUserCompanyCode. If the above one not work, then try with '$(vUserCompanyCode)'.. Let me know..

why dont you use set analysis instead to narrow down the Company codes.

sum(    {<CompanyCode={$(=vUserCompanyCode)}>} NetSales)

Hi Lukasz,

Change the variable vUseCompanyCode values Format like below,

'10', '20', '25', '30'

Expression as

sum( if( WildMatch(CompanyCode,$(vUserCompanyCode)) , NetSales))

Hi,

I did a test, and if I directly enter values ('10', '20', '25', '30') to vUserCompanyCode variable then all options work( with set analysis, wildmatch,match)

However, In this variable, I use the expression

FieldValue ('available Company' Field Index ('user', FieldValue ('user', fieldIndex ('user', $ (vUser)))))

where vUser is  trim(rtrim(subfield(osuser(),'\',2)))

I check then what value store variable and I get '10', '20', '25', '30'.

Maybe text format is wrong?

Hi,

Try this

Sum({<CompanyCode={'$(vUserCompanyCode)'}>} NetSales)

Unfortunately, it did not help.

I noticed one more thing.

If I load to this variable only one company code, then everything works, if I load more than one Unfortunately not.

Simply write in your variable as =10,20,25,30

Then write an expression like below;

Sum({<CompanyCode ={$(vUserCompanyCode)}>}Net Sales)
