If you need data to be "Hidden" use the function "Scramble" otherways explain with more details your request

Hi Hammad,

As per my understanding you have many tabs out of which few you need to show it for clients and rest need to be hidden when you click a button. If so try like this:

1.Create a Variable (Press CTRL+ALT+V) with value 0

2.Then create 2 buttons > then add action as in the solution attachment

3.Go to Sheet Properties > select condition > and paste the expression as in the solution attachment

As per my knowledge single click and hiding multiple tabs of different dashboards is not possible.

you need to re-implement the logic in all the dashboard.

Every time you want to convert the currently loaded document into a demo version of itself inside the QV Desktop, you're limited to what the desktop will allowe you to do. Which is not very much if you look at it from a multripl-document-management viewpoint.

IMHO I think it's better to start writing a VB/C#/VC++ application and use the QlikView OCX component to load-modify-save whatever document you need to transform and according to the rules for creating a demo version that you define yourself.

There are a few advantages:

You can do almost anything with your QVW(s), including dropping the script, hiding or removing sheets, deleting objects, reloading with specific settings to get a limited data set for dmeo purposes etc.
You can process them in batch
You can construct a rule set that is applied by default to all docs or just to some very specific documents
You can set variables to specific values that act as a sort of programmable expiration date (sheets go blank after a specific date)
You can fully automate the process
etc.

There is one big disadvantage:

Since I don't know if someone has ever tried writing such a tool before, and since I don't know the amount of work you're facing when creating demo versions, I will probably be too complex/expensive for you to try and create it all by yourself.

Hmm,
