How to Use the WCase() Function in Report Custom Columns?

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the WCase function to capitalize the first letter of each word in a string while converting the remaining characters to lowercase.

Accessing the Expression Designer:

• Open Sale Voucher or any document.

• Navigate to the "Setup Column Attributes".

• Here, you'll see a list of available columns that can be used to build expressions.

• Click on "Add/Edit Expression Columns" where you can write your expression using predefined functions.

Writing Your First Expression

• Every expression must start with the script header: '#@LSCRIPT

• Click the (+) Plus icon to create a new expression.

• Fill in the required fields:

  • Expression Name – A unique name for your expression.

  • Expression Type – Choose either Text or Numeric depending on the expected output.

• Double-click the new expression name to insert it into the script editor.

• Define the expression using the syntax:

  • Expression Name = WCASE("ITEM_NAME")

  • Capitalize the first letter of each word in a field and convert the rest to lowercase.

• Save the expression.

• Scroll down and check the box next to your expression name to enable the column in the grid.

• The grid now shows the item names in title case (first letter capitalized, rest in lowercase).

Applying the Expression in a Report

• Navigate to the Reporting section.

• Open the Sales Register Detailed Report or any "Report".

• Go to Setup Column Attributes as you did earlier.

• Before adding the expression to the report, go to Other Settings.

• Ensure the Script Editor is set to VBScript.

• Click Save.

  • Note: VBScript is the default for new configurations but always verify this setting.

Adding and Using the Expression in the Report

• Return to "Setup Column Attribute" window.

• Click "Add/Edit Expression Columns".

• Every expression must start with the script header '#@LSCRIPT

• Click the (+) Plus icon to create a new expression.

• Fill in the required fields:

  • Expression Name – A unique name for your expression.

  • Expression Type – Choose either Text or Numeric depending on the expected output.

Creating a Simple WCASE() Expression

• Double-click your newly created expression to insert it into the script editor.

• Define the expression using the syntax:

  • Expression Name = WCASE("ITEM_NAME")

  • Capitalize the first letter of each word in a field and convert the rest to lowercase.

• Click Save.

• Scroll down and check the box to enable the column in the report.

• Save and proceed to check the effect.
