Can you link two components?

Mon, 20 Apr 2015 18:01:32 GMT

Can you use one component as an Input where the user can change value, and another component, say a gauge, is a calculated value based on the first value? When the first value is changed by user, the gauge display is automatically refreshed. Thank you.

Yes.

You can use a variable in an input box, which user can change, and use the same variable in a chart (gauge in your case) expression.

Thank you Mike! I am trying the Qlik Sense desktop application, and am not seeing any input component. Can you maybe point me to a tutorial on Input Component and Calculated Field? Much appreciated.

Oh, I'm sorry, didn't notice (again) it was about Qlik Sense...

There is no input box there, it is QlikView only object.

Hi is there a tutorial or example you could point me to, similar to what you described? Thank you.

No, but see an example attached. n case you can't open it:

There is no script. Two objects:

1. Input box with a variable which I called MyVar. I restricted the input values to numbers. User can enter any number there. This is the object which is not available in Qlik Sense

2. Text box with expression =10*MyVar.

So, when user changes MyVar value in the input box, the result of expression changes as well. Certainly you can use variables in any expressions, including chart expressions.

Michael

Hello Judy,

I see you are asking for samples for Qlik Sense not QlikView. What was provided to you by Michael S, was a .qvw which is for QlikView.

You can get many samples and see many tutorials at the link I provided below. Please note that Qlik Sense automatically links objects together - so there isn't any need to wire them up with parameters and variables so to speak. However, that depends on your use case of course. Qlik Sense does not have an input box object yet, but QlikView does.

What kind of value are you looking to have entered? - There are some techniques where a user can select values from a list that you define, but I would need to understand more about your use case.

Also, if you have not already, please also check out these videos to get started - where you can grab some sample data and sample apps - they are usually attached to the document that the video is embedded in.
