Different Current selection upon opening application

Qlik_Enthu — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 18:08:28 GMT

Hi All,

I have multiple sheets in my application. all the sheets should show past 2 days data upon opening the application. (we have a filter pane object created for this). The field for this list of values are derived from the script written in the backend.

There is two timestamp fields involved (ALL sheets but one uses different timestamp field to get its values).

Now the problem is whenever there is a selection made in filter pane say Filter1, it affects the Filter2 on the other page as well. This should not be the case. I have tried using Alternate state but not succeeded.

Is there any alternative method to achieve this?

Thank you!

This is correct for how Qlik is supposed to behave... if you want some objects (or sheets) not to be impacted by a filter, you either use states, or you use set analysis in those objects to ignore certain selections e.g. Sum( {< Filter1= >} MyField)

Tried with Alternate state. But, that was not giving the expected results. since the filters are in different sheets, the alternate states applied on different sheets behaves strangely.

Sorry, but I don't know how to try and help with "behaves strangely". If you can describe specific issues, perhaps I can try and assist...

Hi, sorry too I am not able to explain clearly. have tried to use Alternate State for the first time. however, the requirement was not fulfilled with it. hence i did not proceeded with the approach.

However, I will try to implement it in some other situation...

Thanks much for your response!
