Selection as text

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 08:28:23 GMT

Hi all,

It is my object to create a dynamic list & present it as non-selectable textbox. Here's what I tried:

I created a straight table in which I selected the values that I want presented. Then I fiddeld about with some of the settings in the properties tabs. None of the properties, however, gave me the desired result ( a list in which the values can't be selected or otherwise manipulated )

Does anybody know how to achieve this goal?

Thanks in advance,

Rob Heinen

If you have definied a column you could show it in a text box with:

='MyColumn: ' & Concat(MyColumn,';')

I tried this, but it returns a '-' when the selection is a list. The objective is to create a list in which the values can't be selected. Something like this:

a a'

b b'

c c'

The purpose of this list is to show when the system - the database, that is! - has been refreshed. The process of refreshing the database consists of a load from several different sources whichcan be reloaded at different dates/times

Is it something like attached file you are trying to accomplish?

Otherwise I'm not sure of what you are trying to do.

That's right. In the mean time I've found a read only box that does the trick when I check it. Sorry for wasting your time on this one. I'm new to Qlikview & that takes a lot of experimenting and, not least of all, perseverance. Thanks again for your time and effort.
