Multiple Selection in QlikView

[#1]

Hi, all.

I want to select two columns' records at once. But I don't know how to achieve that.

For example, I have two columns, named 'Seller' and 'Buyer'. And I got some records like below:

Seller	Buyer
A	B
A	C
B	A
C	D
D	E
E	A
D	B

Now, I want to have ONE list box or something, but just one, that can make me to select ABCDE. Then once I select A (or BCDE), the records that contain A (or BCDE) will be filterd and displayed, no matter it is in Seller or Buyer. The results will be like:

Seller	Buyer
A	B
A	C
B	A
E	A

Cause every list box needs a field to create, once I choose Seller as the field, it only shows Seller's records.

So, I want to choose one and select both. How can I make that? Hope I express myself clearly.

Many thanks!

I see. Many thanks!

But I want records shown in both fields. Is there any way?

[#3]

Oh, it indeed can choose from both sides. But the format is not what I want. It is combining the two sides like AB, BC together. And your choice becomes AB, BC. But I just want to choose A or B alone.

If your Buyer and Seller are from same table or associated, then seeing of both the fields values depends on their association. For example, in your sample above, if you select 'A' from Seller, your Buyer 'A' goes out of scope ; so you can't select 'A' from Buyer.

Oh, anyway I appreciate your help. But that's not what I want.

I just want to select like, a content, a content that is included in both two fields so that once I select this content, records from two fields will be filtered.

[tresesco]

Let me repeat it, 'that (it's possibility, the way you want) depends on their association'.

[#7]

Yes, I know what you mean.

But I don't have this kind of association and I still want two fields records to show.

[tresesco]

Could you post a sample qvw that mimic your data?

[#9]

Just like the sample table in my question.

If I select A, I want both sides to give me the records that contain A. No matter the association is what.

What you did is, only if there is a pair of record 'Seller A and Buyer A', A will show in both sides. It's no difference from selecting directly from Seller or Buyer.

[tresesco]

Have you tried selecting (manually) 'A' from both the fields in your sample data set qvw? Is it working?

[#11]

You mean, create two list box from seller and buyer respectively and select A from these two boxes? I don't think this selection can be done simultaneously, cause once you select in one side, there will be records filtered out from the other side. Just as what you said 'depends on their association'.
