Framework:Expression Uses in CoPlanner

(Just in Use)

Expressions are used throughout CoPlanner to specify or calculate values in CoPlanner Cubes or masks. This topic provides examples of the many places you can use expressions to vary the content or appearance of a CoPlanner Cube or a mask. This list is not comprehensive. You can set an expression for any property in a Formula Editor that displays the button or in a drop-down list that displays <Expression...>.

Syntax von Ausdrücken

Expressions can contain measures, dimension attributes, application properties, session variables, macros, imports, operators, and function calls. To see or change the expression text, you must open the Formula Editior or type directly in the Properties pane. The following table lists typical ways you can use an expression to display or organize data. You can type an expression directly into a dialog box or in the Properties pane.

Functionality	Property, Context, and Object	Example
Concatenate text and period function, which reduces the actual date by 12 months and the result is formatted by the given date format.	Caption or Tooltip-Property of a measure in an input mask or row view.	'Quantity act. ' + 'TimeDimAdd(M,-12,[Period.ID],IIF('TimeDimFlag([Period.ID])'='Y','yyyy','MMM yy'))'
Concatenate caption of a dimension element and period function and the result is formatted by the given date format.	Caption or Tooltip-Property of a measure in an input mask or row view.	'[Sub_GuVGKV.Name]' + ' - TimeDimAdd(M,0,[Period.ID],IIF('TimeDimFlag([Period.ID])'='Y','yyyy','MMMM yyyy'))'
Lock a cell of a measure if an other measure (Price) is cero and the dimension element is a leaf element.	LockCondition-Property of a measure in an input mask or row view.	([Price]=0 and [Products.ChildCount]=0) or ([Products.ChildCount]>0)
Restrict a filter. Only the products will be shown, assigned the selected product group.	SpecialDefinition-Property of a dimension used as filter in an input mask or row view.	AttributFilter(Product groups,me_under,[Product groups.ID])
Plausibility check: It should be only allowed to enter a quantity, if a price exists and it is a leaf element. Furthermore only positive quantities are allowed.	DataValidation-Property of a measure in an input mask or row view. Dialog box Plausibility Check in the field Settings.	[Price]<>0 and <value>>=0
Format font color depending on value. Formatieren einer Schriftfarbe in Abhängigkeit seiner Größe.	ConditionalStyles-Property in an input mask or row view. Dialog box Conditional Formatting Wizard, define condition in field Condition.	[Sales]>=1000000
Calculate weighted price.	Expression and CalcBackExpression-Property of a measure in a CoPlanner Cube in tab Measure.	CalcBackExpression: [Price_org]=WAP([Price]) Expression: FKT_CIF([Quantity]=0,[Price_org],([Sales]-[Sales absolut])/[Quantity])
Calculate Actual/Plan-Variance in percent. If there is no actual value 999,00 %/-999,00 % will be shown.	Expression-Property of a measure in a CoPlanner Cube in tab Measure.	FKT_CIF([Plan value]=0,IIF([Act value]=0,0,IIF([Act value]<0,-999/100,999/100)),([Act value]-[Plan value])/[Plan value]) * 100

Hint  LockCondition is an exception. This function will be evaluyted by the CoPlanner server, but the attributes have to be written with client-side notation.

Example: [Quantity] = 0 and [Period.ChildCount] = 0

Hint  Is the expected return value a string, you have to qualify the whole function as string with '.

Beispiel: 'Menge Ist ' + 'TimeDimAdd(M,-12,[Zeit.ID],IIF('TimeDimFlag([Zeit.ID])'='Y','yyyy','MMM yy'))';
