Chr - script and chart function

Overview

Open the Data load editor and add the load script below to a new tab.

The load script contains:

• A dataset which is loaded into a data table called Example.

• One field in the data table called InputInt. The field contains the integer value to evaluate.

Load script

Example:
Load * inline [
InputInt
65
163
35
];

Results

Load the data and open a sheet. Create a new table and add this field as a dimension:

• InputInt

Create the following measure:

• =Chr(InputInt), to calculate the values in InputInt and return a Unicode character.

The first row returns the string # as that is the Unicode character that corresponds to the value of 35.

The second row returns the string A as that is the Unicode character that corresponds to the value of 65.

The third row returns the string £ as that is the Unicode character that corresponds to the value of 163.

Overview

This example shows how to use the Chr function to create a bullet list of the text strings in a text object.

Results

Open a sheet. Create a new text object, and then add the following code to a measure:

• = Chr(149) & ' Revenue Growth' & Chr(10) & Chr(149) & ' Customer Satisfaction' & Chr(10) & Chr(149) & ' Market Share'

The output is derived in the following way :

• Chr(149) returns a bullet point (•).

• Chr(10) inserts a line break (newline) between the items.

• The ampersand (&) is a string concatenation operator that concatenates the individual pieces of text into a single text string.
