How can I make variable that is re-defined per section and readable in same-section formula? 2

[AleXSR700]

Good morning,

unfortunately my initial approach for using a formula to identify the section the formula is iused in, was not possible with built-in methods (

https://answers.sap.com/questions/13931185/possible-to-use-if-with-referal-to-eg-details-b.html).

I now have a new approach but I seem to be getting one detail wrong.

Idea is to have a global stringvar as identifier in each section that changes value with section change. And then use this stringvar in a formula within that section.

//formula a
global stringvar section:="a"

//formula b
stringvar section:="b"

//formula test
stringvar section;
local numbervar test;

If section="a" Then
    test:=1
Else If section="b" Then
    test:=2;
test

However, the stringvar section is being shown correctly in each section but the result of test is always the same (that for the second section.

Does anybody see what I am doing wrong?

Thank you

Alex

Thank you both for your support. I appreciate you trying to help me.

I did not describe anything elae because there is nothing else to describe and I don't know what else to tell you.

I have tried all kinds of approach ideas.

There is effectively one input value, a simple mathematical calculation and then the output value. The only condition for changing the input value is the section. There is nothing else. no parameter, no nothing.

So, I will live with the extra code but apreciate you trying to help.

Have a great weekend
