Using XML functions and variables in server lists

XML variables store multiple values in a single variable.

SeeXML variables.

There are six XML functions which extract values from XML variables. They are:

  1. GETKEY

    See GETKEY

  2. GETKEYS

    See GETKEYS

  3. GETKEYVALUES

    See GETKEYVALUES

  4. GETPROPERTIES

    See GETPROPERTIES

  5. GETPROPERTY

    See GETPROPERTY

  6. GETPROPERTYVALUES

    See GETPROPERTYVALUES

These are useful in dynamic reports where, for example, slice-dimensions and their elements are stored in an XML variable and you need to extract a comma-separated list of elements.

Formulas can contain text, object properties or a combination of both.
