Definition

Text variable for column text in multiple budget entry transaction

Use

To work with text variables, proceed as follows:

  1. Enter a predefined text variable (starting with & sign) in one or more of the four Text Variable fields offered.
  2. Reference your text variable(s) in the fields Text and Heading of your entry column by entering the optional strings &1, &2, &3 and &4, which correspond to the four text variables called above.
  3. As a result, each variable will be replaced by the corresponding value in both the heading and the tooltip of the column.

Dependencies

Example

You want to work with the following two text variables:

  • Text variable 1: &BUDCAT
  • Text variable 2: &FISCYEAR

Furthermore:

  • the heading of the column is defined as: "category &1, year &2"
  • the text of the column is defined as: "category &1, &2".

This means that the following would be displayed as the column header:

Category 9F, year 2005"

And the tooltip of the column would be:

"Cat. 9F, 2005".
