Hi Enrico,
I can't tell why this expression fails, but there is a more elegant way
to distinguish between even and odd numbers. The modulus operator (%).
CASE WHEN @atlas_featurenumber % 2 = 0 THEN --these are the even pages
210 - @value
ELSE --these are the odd pages
@value
END
The modulus operator returns the remainder after the divison - e.g. 5 %
2 returns 1, 6 % 2 returns 0, 7 % 2 returns 1, 8 % 2 returns 0 and so
on.
Als note, that @atlas_featureid is not a good variable to use, because
it isn't always guaranteed that the is no hole in your primary key
sequence (e.g. if you delete features) - you would also run into
troubles if you start filtering features in the atlas. I would rather
suggest to use the variable @atlas_featurenumber. This should always
start at 1 and increment by one for each subsequent atlas record,
regardless of any filter or holes in the primary key sequence.
Hope this helps,
Andreas
