Returning Alias using ELCOMP

[anguscat]

I am using the ELCOMP formula to return the children of an element. Is it possible to include the alias mask in the returned value?

Thank You,
Bill

Not intrinsically as far as I'm aware, but the workaround is just to wrap the Elcomp inside a DBRA or AttrS function, depending on whether you're talking about the worksheet function or the rules one.

This can be easily achieved by using the ATTRS() rule/TI function or the DBRA() worksheet function.

Example:

Code: Select all

sElement = ATTRS ('Dimension', ELCOMP ('Dimension', sParent, nPosition), 'Alias');

Edit: what a surprise, Alan beat me to it.
