Anonymous — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hi Guys,

I am new to qlikview extension objects as i am building one so i have few doubts

1. is it necessary to have measure in the extension object

2. i have 2 dimension fields i want to call them in the script how can i do that because i just need the field value to be passed to the script

any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Vivek

It may be helpful for you to start with the basics. This document explains how to set-up an example extension with dimensions and measures.

See Extension Object Basics.doc

And no, it isn't necessary to have measures in your extension object. You can also create an extension that doesn't use QlikView data, or with just dimensions. Like for example an alternate listbox format.

Are you sure you're not going to reinvent the wheel?

I guess one of the many existing extensions for google maps may fit your requirements without too much work.
