Study Notes

Text Expressions in Flow.BI

  • Text expressions dynamically create report text content.
  • Combine static text, data source fields, and functions for flexible text.
  • Key elements include static text, data fields, functions, and operators.
  • Text content is typically an expression.
  • Labels, captions, and other text elements use these expressions.
  • Text is fundamental to report creation; manipulating text dynamically is a powerful feature.
  • Possible to adjust properties via events (addressed later).
  • Text can be as simple as static text.

Key Components

  • Static Text: Plain text displayed directly in the report.
  • Data Fields: References report data sources; replaced by values from the source.
  • Functions: Built-in functions handle calculations, data formatting, and text manipulation.
  • Operators: Used for mathematical, logical, and comparison operations; enable complex calculations.

Example

  • ProductName: {ProductName} — Replaced with actual product name from the source.
  • Price: {UnitPrice} — Displays unit price as currency with two decimal places.

Common Use Cases

  • Dynamic Text Generation: Customized text based on data values.
  • Data Formatting: Formats numbers, dates, and currencies.
  • Conditional Formatting: Displays different text based on conditions.
  • Value Calculations: Calculates and displays values.
  • Hyperlinks: Creates links to external resources or internal reports.

Tips and Techniques

  • Expression Editor: User-friendly interface for creating expressions.
  • Built-in Functions: Use Flow.BI's broad functions for text manipulation, date/time formatting, and calculations.
  • Thorough Testing: Test with various datasets for accuracy.
  • Performance Optimization: Avoid complex expressions for faster report generation.
