Definition

The following types of variables are currently supported:

  • Variables for characteristic values (Variable type 1)
    If, at first, you do not wish to specify a value for a characteristic or dimension, you can use a variable. A variable for characteristic values is unique within the characteristic (field name).
  • Variables for hierarchy nodes (Variable type 2)
    If you do not wish to specify a hierarchy node, you can use a variable.
  • Variable for text (Variable type 3)
    You can use a text variable instead of fixed text if you want to display the text but the text content is not available before the report is run. You can also use a text variable if you want to make a reference to a text.
  • Variable for formula (Variable type 4)
    If, in a formula, certain constants are determined just before the formula is evaluated, you can use formula variables instead of constants when you define the formula.
  • Hierarchy variable (Variable type 5)
    If, at first, you do not wish to specify a hierarchy, you can use a variable.
  • Variable for hierarchy node/characteristic value (Variable type 6)
    This is a combination of the variable for hierarchy nodes (Variable type 2) and the variable for characteristic values (Variable type 1), the latter is a select option. When you execute the report, you can enter either a hierarchy node or different characteristic values.
    Note the following: When you define the variable or report, you can only fix a proposed value for a hierarchy node, but not proposed values for characteristic values.
