[Nada Ghosn <esumohleb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good evening,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I did the expression and it works.
However, i have to click on the field (year) to get the value.
I will be thankful if you can advise on how to get the value automatically
without having to click in the target field (year)
Sincerely
NG
