Custom tables: operation with variables

Hi,
I'd like to show the variation of value for a selected variable for the first two loaded runs.
Maybe I can use a custom table.
is it possible, in a custom table, to show the difference of values of two loaded runs for the selected variable?
Something like
Many thanks

Have you tried custom reports? They might do what you need (I haven't actually used them in years so am very rust on it).

I don't think it's possible to perform mathematical operations on the two runs.
An alternative, if these represent something like a "base" and "policy" scenario, is to subscript the entire model with a scenario dimension, e.g. scenario : base, policy, so that both runs happen at once. Then you can calculate differences, etc. directly.

Not about operations but custom tables....
If I use just
Code: Select all
:table table1
:comline Population
:var population
without specifying any dataset but loading more runs, only the values of the first run are shown.
I can't know if more runs will be loaded, thus I don't want to use che
:DATASET dataset key.
What can I do?

I don'd understand your question. Can you try and explain again?

Generally, if you use the : DATASET key with a wildcard like *2 (for the second run), nothing will be shown if only one run is loaded, so you don't need to know in advance what is available.
