ILanerCalculateSerie.UserFormat

Syntax

UserFormat: String;

Description

The UserFormat property determines name format for calculated series.

Comments

The property value is considered if ILanerSerie.UserName is set to False.

The property supports the use of the %s parameter, which is replaced with input series name on generating the name. For example, UserFormat is set to Abs(%s), an the input series is named Albania|BCA. Therefore, the Abs(Albania|BCA) name will be used for the calculated series..

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a workbook with the WORKBOOK_CALC_SERIES identifier that contains several data series.

Add links to the Cubes, Dimensions, Express, Laner, Metabase, Ms system assemblies.

    // Calculate the series
    NewSerie.Calculate;
    // Save changes in the workbook
    WbkObj.Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the calculated series is added to the workbook, the series name is formed by the following format: Logarithm (%s), where %s is input series name.
