Customise sentence in report?

Post by wulliam » 27 Jan 2010 15:14

Dear All,

I've got flags to indicate that I have a census entry for a given year. They work with icons very nicely on diagrams.
I also know how to create a custom fact called, say, 'census' and how to adapt the resulting sentence output.

Is it possible to reference the flags and change the sentence output that way?

Hope this query makes sense to you!

If you are thinking about using an expression/function to affect the format of the sentence when it's used in reports then it looks like you are out of luck.

There are a couple of wish list items for it
