HI,

You can use the below code. I have used the same in my project.

Create a below rule and use this in forEach expression in your gridTextColumn component.

if(
rule!APN_isEmpty(
ri!usrOrGrp_txt
),
null,
if(
rule!APN_isEmpty(
togroup(
ri!usrOrGrp_txt
)
),
rule!getFullNameFromUsername(
ri!usrOrGrp_txt
),
if(
doesgroupexist(
tointeger(
ri!usrOrGrp_txt
)
),
group(
tointeger(
ri!usrOrGrp_txt
),
"groupName"
),
rule!getFullNameFromUsername(
ri!usrOrGrp_txt
))))

***************************
Where rule!getFullNameFromUsername is as below:

***************************
if(
rule!APN_isEmpty(
ri!username_txt
),
null,
if(isusernametaken(ri!username_txt),
user(
ri!username_txt,
"firstName"
) & " " & user(
ri!username_txt,
"lastName"
),null)
)

Thanks,
J. Neelima

Hello

In case you can set the variable you are getting out of the report, If the variable is single value “User or Group” something like this might help.

if(runtimetypeof(ri!groupOrUser) = tointeger('type!{www.appian.com/.../2009}Group'),
group(togroup(ri!groupOrUser), "groupName"),
rule!APN_displayUser(touser(ri!groupOrUser))
)
If you have multiple, that is a different story

——SOME OTHER IDEA——
=with(
local!array: split(stripwith(ri!text, " "), ";"),
if(isnull(ri!text), {},
{
if(ri!returnType="USER", {},
togroup( extract( ri!text, "[Group:", "]") )
),
if(ri!returnType="GROUP", {},
touser(index(local!array,
where(apply(isusernametaken( _), local!array)), {}))
)
}
)
)

I Hope this helps
Jose

Hi,
I had once a similar problem and I realized much after of the mistake. I would suggest to review your CDT and make sure that you have a number and not a text. Group should be an integer on the DB level, and if you save it as a text, then you will have something like [Group:##]. With a number, all the suggestions from below to transform should work, and you should not need that transformation you a seeking for.

I hope it is of help,
Good luck!

What is the definition of your report column?

In fact, I think that there is a problem w/ tp!assignee and tp!task_assignee_owner() outputs as the result blanks when we do function(tostring(tp!task_assignee_owner() )).

Have you tried the togroup() function? e.g...
=if(left(ri!myString,1)="[",
group(togroup(ri!myString),"groupName"),
ri!myString)

I had a very similar issue recently. It is not very clean but I used =if(find("Group",ri!texte)>0,group(tointeger(mid(ri!texte,8,len(ri!texte)-1)),"groupName"),ri!texte)

I think group() function helps in your case.For more details forum.appian.com/.../Scripting_Functions
