Study Notes
Using Data Fields in Flow.BI
- Data fields are referenced in text expressions using curly braces
{}
. - Example:
{Orders.ProductName}
displays the "ProductName" from the "Orders" data source. - Specify the data source name (
Orders
in the example) before the field name for clarity, especially with multiple data sources. - Data fields are accessible within the context of a data band. This means the data displayed changes as the data record moves within the report.
- Calculations can be performed directly within expressions, like
{Orders.UnitPrice * Orders.Quantity}
for total price calculations. - Conditional formatting allows displaying different text based on conditions:
{If(Orders.Quantity > 10, "High Quantity", "Low Quantity")}
. - Refer to data fields using the syntax
{DataSource.FieldName}
. - The current record is referenced when using data fields.
- Typically used in reports with bands for dynamic displays.
- To reference data fields, enclose the field name within curly braces
{}
. - Example: For a data source "Orders" with fields "ProductName" and "UnitPrice", display fields using:
- Product Name: {Orders.ProductName}
- Unit Price: {Orders.UnitPrice}
- Ensure the correct data source name is used, especially with multiple sources.
- Data field values are accessible within data bands.
- Calculations can be performed directly within expressions (e.g., total price).
