Comments / tooltips

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 05:40:52 GMT

HI,

I wonder if there is a way in QlikView to present comments as tooltips.

I need to present for a description and clarification of which method was used for the calculation of each and every column in the table.

If I look on the properties of tables (Pivot/Straight) under the Tab ‘Expressions’ it is possible to add a different comment for every column. Only I have no idea how and where I can get it to be presented to the User.

Can somebody help me on this?

Thanks in advance,

Asaf

As far as I know, you can't access comments or tags from object expressions. This would be a very useful feature addition. You may want to post it in "Ideas". I would certainly vote it up!

Thanks for your answer,

I wonder what is then the use of the expressions/comment property in the tables object?
