Sorry, if it's a silly question.
I need to let users select Depots from a list but I need to make them appear in the same format.
Various data source in the existing report.
Most data sources I've got use, e.g. 'BR-DP' for Brunswick depot, 'M' then Malvern depot, etc.
A new data source I've got, uses abbreviations like B, M, etc.
I've created an LOV object with
case
when dbo.view_BO_Perf9.Depot = 'B' then 'BR-DP'
when dbo.view_BO_Perf9.Depot = 'E' then 'ES-DP'
when dbo.view_BO_Perf9.Depot = 'G' then 'GL-DP'
when dbo.view_BO_Perf9.Depot = 'K' then 'KE-DP'
when dbo.view_BO_Perf9.Depot = 'M' then 'MA-DP'
when dbo.view_BO_Perf9.Depot = 'P' then 'EP-DP'
when dbo.view_BO_Perf9.Depot = 'S' then 'SB-DP'
when dbo.view_BO_Perf9.Depot = 'V' then 'CW-DP'
when dbo.view_BO_Perf9.Depot = 'B' then 'EP-DP'
end
But it still prompts with values B, E, etc.
What's the best way to set LOV and prompts, so that it prompts with 'BR-DP' but uses 'B'?
(These dimensions seldom change).
