Write Variable to Label

Hello!

In QlikSense, is it possible to output a variable to a label?

For example, I have a pivot table with the column header label of 'Budget', but its for a particular month, so I'd like to add the month name to the label.

Thank you

Neil

Hello Neil,

It seems (with Qlik Sense) that dynamic labels are NOT possible with the Pivot Table object yet. If a label input box has a fx indicator - that means an expression can be used such as defined in a variable or with a function.

Note that fx is not in the Label box.

Please let us know else we can help.

Hi,Yes its posible,

Try like this.

sum({<[Opportunity Won/Lost]={'WON'}, [Opportunity Close Quarter/Year]={"$(vPreviousQ)"}>}[Opportunity Amount] * ExRate_$(vCurrency))/1000000

Sorry, that didn't work - it just saw the whole thing as a text string.
