Dimension name on filter bar

dafnis14 — Sat, 28 Jul 2018 14:37:54 GMT

Hi,

When naming a master dimension, the label on the filter bar has the field name instead of the dimension name.

Is there a way to bypass it?

Thanks!

i didnt find direct option..... but you can create field with your required name in the script

and use the same in master dimension.

Hi,

Yes, I'm aware of this option. But i expected that the label would be taken from the master dimension.

I think that this feature is a must.

Thanks!

Think so, As of now, it's (By passing Name) not possible, we are seeing this behavior from previous versions too.

Hi!!

Give 'Group Code' in Label expression

DO AS FOLLOW in ur master dimension definition:

if(BP_GroupCode =BP_GroupCode ,BP_GroupCode )

with that, Qlik will label the enw created dimension with the new label; if u don't "alter' ur dimension, Qlik will always keep the original field name.

Hope that helps

If a selection is made on a dimension defined in this way, will references to the field 'BP_GroupCode' in set analysis behave as expected? thanks

I tried it myself. It is a good solution for making the dimension name appear in the breadcrumb, but set analysis cannot ignore selections on the dimension.
