You can use a tracked variable to get the changes to a value/variable. In your logic, wherever you change the label, save it's value to the tracked variable. And then you can add that tracked variable to a dashboard widget and it can show you the previous values or average value etc of the tracked variable. Is this along the lines of what you were looking for?</P> Wed, 23 Nov 2016 18:07:23 GMT sam_stubbsYXX86 2016-11-23T18:07:23Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-output-the-value-of-a-label-when-it-changes/m-p/13549959#M54865 <P><I>[ FlexSim 16.2.1 ]</I></P><P>I am working on a model where I want to, either through a dashboard or output to a note pad file, the values of a label every time I change it. </P> <P>There may be an easy way to use code to output (because I use a message to a source to change the label value).

But I am very ignorant of the program, so I proabaly missed something.</P> Wed, 23 Nov 2016 18:34:23 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-output-the-value-of-a-label-when-it-changes/m-p/13549961#M54867 derek_flannery 2016-11-23T18:34:23Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-output-the-value-of-a-label-when-it-changes/m-p/13549962#M54868 <P><A rel="user" href="https://answers.flexsim.com/users/1663/derek.f.html" nodeid="1663">@Derek Flannery</A> I had a question before that may be similar to what you are trying to do.

To view them, So if you assign a tracked variable to say a box-plot graph, then you'll see the values displayed. Or you can get an average etc.</P><P>The link Kari provided explains in further detail. <A href="https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/27025/is-there-a-way-to-display-the-average-value-of-a-l.html">https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/27025/is-there-a-way-to-display-the-average-value-of-a-l.html</A> </P><P>Or you can look into the Manual to see the documentation for using Tracked Variables.</P> Wed, 23 Nov 2016 20:18:40 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-output-the-value-of-a-label-when-it-changes/m-p/13549963#M54869 sam_stubbsYXX86 2016-11-23T20:18:40Z
