Edit a Measure Item Caption

If the Properties window for a measure item is open already, skip to Step 2.

1.   Right-click the existing caption for the measure item in the view or view explorer, and select Properties.

2.   Click the Browse button next to the Caption Expression field in the Properties window.

3.   Use the Caption Expression window to edit the caption expression.

• Type static text into the Expression section.

• Click variables from the Variables folder to use them in the expression.

• In the case of captions for calculated measures items, click variables or names of measure items that are in the Measure Items folder to use them in the caption. The folder displays each measure item in the calculated expression. Any variables from those measure items can be used to build the caption for the calculated measure item. Example variables are the Caption, Conditional Format Name and Description, and time properties of the measure items used in the calculation have time ranges.

• Use the Enter key to insert a new line into the caption. Text or variables entered after the line break will begin on a new line in the rendered caption.

• Click Evaluate at any time to check the caption that will result from the expression, such as to see how variables used in the expression will look in the rendered caption.

4.   Click OK.
