"[SOLVED] reporting extension: Scatter Multiple attributes with some name pattern"

tennenrishin

Hello

I would like to report a "Scatter Multiple" plot that includes all attributes whose names start with "xyz". The "Scatter Multiple" plot-columns parameter doesn't seem to allow regular expressions.

What is the easiest way to do this? Do I have to loop through the attribute names and construct a long macro of attribute names?

Thanks for any help

I fear the answer is just a simple "yes" oO

Best, Marius

Thank you Marius! So I take it then, that this is the simplest way to do it.
