Hi,

i want to change the Label of each Bar depending on a parameter.
I've tried to manipulate the Label by calling the beforeDrawSeries function.

function beforeDrawSeries( series, isr, icsc )
{
	var currency;
	if(icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getParameterValue("currency") == "EUR")
		currency = " €";
	else
		currency = " $";
	series.getLabel().getCaption().setValue(series.getLabel().getCaption().getValue() + currency);
}

However, there is no effect when previewing the Report. What can I do to make this work?

Try this on the beforeDrawDataPointLabel script ie

function beforeDrawDataPointLabel(dph, label, icsc)
{
var mylab =
icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getGlobalVariable( "reportvariable");
label.getCaption().setValue(mylab);
}
