Hi Sparten,

I think this cannot happen in Qlikview.

If its possible I would also like to know.

Hi,

I think the only chance is in Document Properties -> General Tab -> Selection Appearance (Right lower Corner)

Hi Sparten,

Yes, I agree with other users. I don't think you can change the background colour for excluded selections. Because that is the default QV behaviour.

Green : Current Selection

White : Possible Selection

Grey : Excluded Selection

You can change the shades of grey by changing the Document Properties > General Tab > Color Scheme

Hope this help!

tried all the things.. it is not possible to change the color of excluded values of list box.

can anyone tell me how to i hide excluded values in list box or is there any workaround for this?

Hide Excluded propery of list box hides only excluded values but background color still appears.

How about using a Table box with the specific column you wanted? This will expand and shrink based on your selections. I mean it works as Hide Excluded Property.

Okay cool. I am very curious to know the original problem. I mean why do you want to hide the excluded values and shrink the ListBox? I can understand the reason for hiding them but I am interested to know why do you want to shrink the LB?

I had similar requirement in the past and I have used the TableBox/Straight Table to behave as LB.

There is one list box which contains report names.

e.g. report a, report c , report b

now when enduser select these report/s, their description (which is 2-3 text lines) need to be appear on the rigth side of list box.

I tried using text object to show this description. i can concatenate the description of each report and show it in text box.

but the problem with text object is, it'll show description of these selected values in alphabetical order.

i.e. report a's description is shown 1st, report b's second and report c's third.

hence, used list box with load order sort.

Hi,

if you use concat for the descriptions in the text box, are you aware of that you could define the sort weight as third parameter to your concat function (if sorting in alphabetical order is a problem, you could sort after ID or something else)?

Hi DV,

if we are using Straight table/TableBox, then the problem is, we cannot select the values from the data right

if we select values in listbox, it shows selected in green and other in gray, but in tablebox or straight table, it doesnt look like that, green and gray.

can we do something in table so that it functions similar to listbox?
