Questions about "<function missing>"

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

I recently took over an outdated project built in FM8 or earlier. There is a function I'm having trouble with which contains the code below. I'm familiar with the most recent graphing capabilities of FM but this "<function missing>" is confusing me. The code creates a bar graph attached to this post. If I try to change anything about this calculation/container I get an error message "A number, text constant, field name or "(" is expected here". The cursor highlights the "<function missing>" piece of code. I'm not clear on how this code even works with that first line... but it does. I need to change the formatting (and therefore code) of this graph. Can anybody point me in the right direction on how to either update this code or deal with the "<function missing>" portion of it? As soon as I remove that function missing part, it breaks the graph. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

At a guess it's probably a function from a third-party FMP plug-in. A charting plug-in from the looks of it.

Thank you Vaughan, you were correct, it was a missing "xmchart" plugin, once it was installed, the function names appeared. Thank you for your post!
