How to display the Context selected in the report.

Hi all,

How do I show the name of the context selected in a report so that next time when I (or end-users) refresh the report, they know which context they used.

Thanks for your help.

Dave,

Is it possible to create a data provider function which does that using VBA/SDK?
Just wondering if this kind of stuff can be done using VBA/SDK.

Sort of. You cannot provide a function that is called from a report variable forumula. But you can create VBA code that updates a variable formula to something like

="Your Code Here"

Simply replace “Your Code Here” with VBA and you have a way to update a report “value” via VBA.

Dave, the link to this paper is not active anymore. I’d be interested to read it though, is it still available anywhere?

Look in this section of the Integra Solutions library page:

Look for the article titled “Denoting Contexts on a Report”
