Button Toggle Field Selection not working on multiple values

Julien_OF — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 12:24:17 GMT

Hello,

From QlikSense Button documentation, it says :

Toggle field selection

You can set the button to toggle between the current selection, and a selection that adds selections defined by a search string. You can use wild cards in the search string. If you want to define a list of values you need to use the format (A|B), where A and B are values to select.

I need a button to toggle 2 values from a field :

Field = Base, Values are AB and JE

If I set my button to toggle on only one value, for exemple AB, it works fine, but whenever I try multiple values like AB|JE, it does absolutely nothing...

I tried AB|JE, JE|AB, 'AB'|'JE', AB | JE etc... nothing is working.

is the toggle function on multiple values bugged or im doing something wrong ?

tx for your help

Dear Julien,

ahhhhhhhh

Its written, and somehow I didnt read it carefully..

It is indeed (AB|JE), I was forgetting parenthesis **bleep** it ! "" are not needed as I dont have spaces I guess.

Thanks for your help !

Hello,

try ("AB"|"CD") instead of ('AB'|'CD')
