Hi Roland.

You should be able to put the column names in double quotes when using them in expressions - eg. rangesum("Netto [TE]").

Hi Roland,

if I get it right - column name you are talking is the expression name - right?

If so you can use the column reference.

like column(1)+column(2)

Let me know if it helps.

Hi Rocky,

thank you for your answer. Sorry, of course I mean expression names, and to be even more correct: expression labels.

I know the possibility using column(1), .... . But what if endusers rearrange the columns in the chart? Then it leads to funny results.

regards

Roland

Hi John,

it works. Sometimes life is easy, if you know what I mean.

Thanks
