Hi Guys,

Just having some problems.

I'm trying to evaluate an expression that is based on

The CF

Paramaters: FieldListSeperatedByPipe ; CustomExpression ; n ; total

FieldListSeperatedByPipe is just that

The CustomExpression is meant to be a case statement that references currentField, but that's the bit i can't get to work.

Let([ 

	n = If(IsEmpty(n) ; 1 ; n ) ;

	list = Substitute(FieldListSeperatedByPipe ; "|" ; ¶ ) ;

	y = ValueCount( list ) ;

	currentField = GetField(GetValue( list ; n )) ;

	z = Sum(Evaluate(CustomExpression); total )



];

If( n < y ; 	SumConditionalFieldsCustomExpression( FieldListSeperatedByPipe ; CustomExpression ; n + 1 ; z ) 	; z )



)//End of Let

Usage Attempt

SumConditionalFieldsCustomExpression( "temp::field1|temp::field2|temp::field3|temp::field4" ; "Case(currentField = "Yes" ; 3 ; CurrentField = "No" ; 1 )"  ;  "" ; "" )

See the attached file as well. It's not really important, and it's actually some one elses scenario, but i'm just trying to work out why evaluate won't work for future reference.

Cheers

The Evaluate() function starts a new variable scope, and it cannot see local variables declared outside itself (like you are using).

You could use script-local or global variables instead and I suspect it would be fine.

Hmmmm,

Thank you very much for the explanation -- I justed tested it out and changing currentField to a local (or global) variable in both the CF and the actual Calc field worked!!!

Cheers
