straight box question

Is there a way for me to display a blank straight box on open, until I start selecting criteria within the QlikView application?

Not sure if this is what you are after, but maybe you can use the calculation condition on General tab for this.

For example, if you want to force the selection in a certain field (e.g. Year), you could use:

=if(GetSelectedCount(Year),1,0)

If you want to force selection in any, but arbitrary field

=if(len(GetCurrentSelections()),1,0)

If not enough selections are done, an error message will be displayed, which may not be very helpful to the user.

You could set a new message in general tab, Error Messages.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Stefan, I will try that! I am new to QlikView and need to learn a lot more. Thanks again!

You're welcome.

Please see also attached sample app, if you are not on personal edition.

Have fun!
