Further you could try to add a second parameter with the ID of your dimension, like: getobjectfield(0, 'CH01') - in QV 11 is this possible but within the help of QV 12 is only one parameter mentioned.</P><P></P><P>- Marcus</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 24 Jan 2017 14:05:39 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/App-Development/Using-GetObjectField-to-get-the-Name-of-the-Alternative/m-p/1225680#M23851 marcus_sommer 2017-01-24T14:05:39Z
