Title: pie chart help
Post by: sravantig on 24 Feb 2012 03:38:07 PM
I inserted a pie chart... I'm inserting current year(from tree) in categories, I don't see an option where I can change the expression when i click on edit properties. Please help.

**I was trying to create an already existing report, still in learning process

The expression was like this
[HR Flash].[Year].[Year]->?param_hr_year?

what does this mean?

It is a query calculation (from the toolbox) - drop this into your Categories area of the chart, then build the expression. For the first part, drag in the Year hierarchy, then add the rest by hand.

-> is a dimensional operator, essentially used to locate a member in a hierarchy, and the part in ?question marks? is a parameter, which will result in a prompt for the relevant member.
