Detail Button

marco_puccetti — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello I need to create two buttons, one to open a detail field in the same sheet and one to hide the previous field opened.

Is it possible?

Thank you

Marco,

Is your detailed field a dimension of the chart ?

if yes,

1) create a variable taht will contain 1 or 0

2) your button will do sth like : mod(vHide+1, 2) to switch from 0 to 1. You may also test the variable to modify the test : sth like = if(vHide=1, 'Hide', 'Show') & ' Detail'. You'll get only ONE button instead of two

3) In the chart (or table) in the dimensions tab, choose your Detail Dimension, Enable conditional = vHide

Ok, i intend to use this logic;

Create a button and specify the action Mod(vHide+1,2);
Create the text field and set the property (Show on Conditional Function);

But in the button actions which action have i to choose?

Thank you!

So, you will close the discussion and tag what was usefull.
