<DATASOURCE>.getDataAsString with initial selection

[andreas_lcher]

Hi Experts,

i have a question concerning the command <DATASOURCE>.getDataAsString (Measure, Selection). My Datasource is a BEx-Query with three keyfigures and without any characteristics. I want to write the value of keyfigure x into my text-field "TEXT_1". I want to do it via "On Startup-Script" as follows:

TEXT_1.setText(DS_1.getDataAsString("07HWF6GK7KTOA7V0PEFAE7TEU[keyfigure x]","Selection[as i don't have any characteristics in my query, i don't want to use this parameter]");

The problem is that i do not have a value for the parameter "Selection" as i don't have any characteristics in my query. Can anyone help my to solve the issue?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Andreas

That should work fine, have tried already?:

TEXT_1.setText(DS_1.getDataAsString("07HWF6GK7KTOA7V0PEFAE7TEU[keyfigure x]", {});

Hi,

I am trying to do the same but I encounter an error which says that the keyfigure is not valid for the data source DS_1.

Please help.

Great.

The german version of it (VG) matches a lot better to my first names.

Hi Victor

My key figure contains values as well as * for incomputable data types. The values are showing fine, but the * is not showing.

Did I miss anything?  TEXT_1.setText(DS_1.getDataAsStringExt("00O2TFI34AYAXAKC3EG1B9QKT", {}));
