     Posted: 20 Jan 2010 at 5:41am
Hi,
I am running a report that needs to show a budget for a number of departments for the current month. Is there a way to create a dynamic formula name? As an example I have a group of arrays with monthly budgets for departments:

numbervar Dept401 := [200,100, 500, 600,700];
numbervar Dept402 := [25,78,96,54,36];

numbervar Month := month(CurrentDate);

I would like to do something like this to show the amount:

"Dept" & {Department} & [Month]

The above creates a string and I would like to show the value. Is this possible in Crystal XI?

Thanks for your help.

That is an interesting idea. Unfortunately Crystal can't do it. You will need to find another way to display the info you want.
