clone variable between data providers

downloads
#1

Hello Moderators,
This tool I created in a need, might be useful to others as well.
I need many times the same formula based on different data providers in my reprts (like count(Case ID(logged)), count(Case ID(resolved))…

This tool does simply clones variables like above by changing tha data provider names in the formulas. Assumes some naming conventions:

variable name (data provider name)

During the clone phase it allows you to check the variable and change the final formula if you want.

Decide if it is useful or to post to the download section. Author details inside (myself, the sort routine if based on Frederik Aerts code, http://users.skynet.be/am044448/Programmeren)

Platform: PC/XI R2, but I assume it shall work with 6.5 as well if saved in that format.

Regards,
Marton
