Show two selected values in Current Selection Bar

moritzreinhard2 — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 17:32:36 GMT

Hi,

customers often choose more than one value in field to filter. If you choose two values is there any way to show these two values in the current selection bar?

I always get "2 of xyz"

and not explicitly the two values. Is there any way. Maybe using extensions widgets?

Thanks!!

Hi @moritzreinhard2

I am not aware of anything to display the selections in the current selection bar, but if you click on the selection bar field, it shows a dropdown with all your selections, like this:

Another possibility is to implement the GetFieldSelections - chart function by adding a Text control on the sheet with its expression like this:

GetFieldSelections(Year)

But, it sometimes shows the selection with something like this;

Hope this helps,

Dear ArnadoSandoval,

it is important that it ist fancy. I know that there are functions like getcurrentselections and getfieldselections to display the selections somehow. However, then you would display the current selection twice and that is not fancy.

I like the current selection bar of qlik sense but I wonder that it is not possible to configure it. You only can only hide the INSIGHTS-Button using DISABLE_INSIGHTS

Best regards

Hi @moritzreinhard2

There is another factor simplicity, the selection bar optimize the space to show as many selections as chosen by the user, extending it to show individual selection per field breaks its simplicity, it may not be a drama if we think about one or two selection, but there is always the possibility of more selection turning the selection bar in a monster to render, i believe its feature to show the current selections when you click on any of the selected fields keeps the simplicity and allows users to check/find what they want to know. Perhaps, if Qlik introduce a keyboard short cut to show the dropdown with the selections could be an improvement.
