Report Builder - Custom Expression : Substring of a Title


Jean-François CHAPELLE (6414) | asked Mar 15, 5:42 a.m.

 Our ELM versions are 6.0.6.1 et 7.0.2


We want to create a report with Report Builder, which uses a custom expression.

The data source for this report is "LQE scoped by a configuration".

We want to query a list of DNG artifacts and display, among other attributes, the Artifact Title.

With a custom expression, we would like to display only the first 20 characters of the Title.

Is it possible to use a formulation such as: SUBSTR($Data:Titre$, 1, 20) ?

Thank you for your help.

Regards.

You should be able to use the SPARQL function SUBSTR:

"The function SUBSTR( string, beginposition, stringlength ) returns a substring of a string beginning at the position marked by beginposition, and will have a length as indicated. For instance SUBSTR( ?name,2,3 ) where ?name = "ABCDEFGH" will return "BCD". A substring without length like SUBSTR( ?name,2 ) will return "BCDEFGH". "
