Creating dynamic button names

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 09:39:43 GMT

Dear QlikCommunity,

I wish to create a textbox that sends you to a specific sheet when clicking on it.

New Sheet Objet -> Text box -> Action -> ... So far, so good.

Here's the issue: I want the text in the text box to change dynamically with the name of the sheet.

Example:

In sheet ABC I have a text box saying: "Go to Start", and when one click on it - wupti - you jump to the SH1 (Which is called "Start")

Suddenly, my partner feels like changing the name of SH1 from "Start" to "Welcome". The button/text box still works. However, the text in the text box is rather misleading.

So, is it possible to do some sort of ="Go to " & Title(SH1) when defining the text in the text box, so it automatically updates.

All inputs are welcome.

Thank you all in advance.

Hi,

You can done this by using variable.

Initially set variable with value 'Go to Start' and On Sheet activate set variable value as 'Welcome'.

use this variable in text box or buttons as =$(variableName)

Use Document Properties-->Triggers-->On load.

Sheet Properties-->Triggers-->On activate.
