Conditional Show based on Selection

Thu, 21 Jun 2012 22:16:52 GMT

Hey Everyone-

I know this is super simple, but for some reason I cannot figure this out. Currently have a straight table:

Client	Metric	Output
Joe	Running	He's super fast
Mike	Running	He's super slow, around 10% Slower
Michelle	Swimming	Average swimmer
Joan	Biking	Average at 10%
John	Running	Average at best

I have a separate list box called "Client" so they can filter this straight table to the selection. What, I'd like to do is the following:

If the user clears all and does not select any client, then just show "Mike" (and it's results)

If not, then go by the listbox selection(s)

In my straight table, for "Client" I have changed to the dimension to a calculated dimension, that looks like this:

=if(GetSelectedCount(Client)>=1,Client,Client='Mike')

For the field "Output," since it's straight table (and not a table box), I made that field as an expression using the following:

=Only(Output)

However, if I "Clear All" under "Client" in the straight table, I get -1 instead of it saying "Mike." The other two fields (Metric and Output) come out correct.

I've literally been racking my brain on this, but for some reason I can't get anything but either -1 or a NULL value instead of just "Mike."

Now, if I do select a specific "Client" under the listbox, everything comes out correct (in other words, it shows the Client's name). What am I missing?

Thanks!

Hey Jason-

Here you go:

Got it. INstead of a calculated dimension, just have Client and Metric as normal dimensions, then as your expression:

=IF(GetSelectedCount(Client)=0,Only({<Client={Mike}>} Output),Only(Output))

Hope this helps,

Jason
