    Kedar,

    an example of a text variable could be :

    If I want my column header to show Month Name as 'March'and not 032006 , I could have a text variable which gives the same.

    Another option is if I want my characteristic name or Key figure name to be derived instead of a static value. Examples being similar to the one above or something like , I have a Key figure but would like Person A to see it as 'Balance' and Person B to see it as 'Outstanding' a case being Payables , I could use a text variable that changes according to the role or ID of the person logged in.
