Problem with LET and Concat() in the script

Hi!

I have a problem when trying to assign a value to a variable in the script.

- I have to assign a list of values of an excel to one variable. For that, I load the excel, and then I put the following statement in the script:

LET variable1 = Concat(Field1,',').

The problem is, that, later on, variable1 is assigned with 'Concat(Field1,','), instead of the content of the Field1 (eg. 11,14,15,16).

How can I fix that??  I just want to assign the string '11,14,15,16' into the variable1.

Many thanks!!

Jordi.

If I understand your question correctly, instead of using the values from Field1 column, you want to hard code the strig '11, 14, 15, 16'.

If the above statement is correct then may be use can use Set instead of Let - SET variable1 = '11,14,15,16'.

Ni Neelam,

Thank you very much for your answer. I can't do that because the numbers will be stored in one excel and will be changed every week by the user. So I need to extract the numbers from the excel, and put it in one variable. There is any way??

Thanks!!!!!!

May be like this:

ABC:

LOAD * Inline

[

Field

1

1

2

3

5];

let noRows = NoOfRows('ABC')-1;

for i=0 to $(noRows)

let vVar=FieldValue('CaptureDateTime',$(i));

Temp:

LOAD * ,'$(vVar)' as Field1

Resident ABC;

next i

Drop table ABC;

Hi

why do you want this to be done at script-level(Back end).

At the expression-level(Front end) i.e. in textbox it works fine
