Management Reporter / Report Designer How to Reference Column IF

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 11
I have a report with a column definition that spans hundreds of columns.  I have a few hundred variance columns that use the simple CALC of column - column that all work except one.  The one that doesn't work has the formula IF-TA because it thinks I'm trying to use an IF statement.  I've tried @IF-TA and @IF-@TA and it still returns an error.  How do I reference column "IF"?

    you need to enclose in brackets []
    using it with calc would be best option
    CALC([IF] - [TA])

    I tried the syntax in the attached two pictures, but neither worked.  Is there a version difference or some other constraint?

    Hi, there was already a discussion on this topic, unfortunately without a definitive answer if not creating a column with the same settings as the IF column and referencing that one instead:
