Selection of multiple records doesn't work

Hi,

it seems that neither

SelectTextsInColumn(0, false, ["A","B"])

nor

SelectValuesInColumn(0, ["A","B"], false)

doesn't work. It selects only the first value "A".

Is there any other way to do this in one function call?

The function works for me (see the attached .qar and .qvw files).

Yea, those kind of simple stuff always work. I also have some extensions that work with multiple selection, but some doesn't work.

Can you post an example of it not working?  I'd like to play around with it.

I cannot post this. But I have played around with all possible options and everytime only the first value gets selected..

I'm using an extension at the moment and I have the same problem actually.

But I think I have identify one problem.

Those methods : SelectTextsInColumn / SelectValuesInColumn works fine with array as parameter BUT only if your column is a simple dimension (not a calculated dimension nor a conditional dimension)


For exemple :

- This work : Dimension : X => selectTextsInColumn(0,true,["a","b","c"]) => Filter a b c
- This wont work : Dimension : =if(GetPossibleCount(X) < 10, X, Null() ) => selectTextsInColumn(0,true,["a","b","c"]) = > filter a

So now it is a problem with the method ? Or the way we use dimension is too hacky ?

Here an example :

Those function is within the javascript API QlikView 11 for Extension.
