Enable Horizontal Scroll Bar on Straight Table

Tue, 05 Nov 2013 16:04:23 GMT

Hi Folks, I am trying to enable the horizontal Scroll Bar on straight table because I have 15 dimensions and 1 expression and we deploy the applications on iPad. So users are requested for horizontal Scroll Bar on the object.

I check all the options on the Straight table object and I didn't see any forceful option to enable the scroll bar after certain limit of the dimensions.

How do I turn the scroll bar ?

Please Help me on this.......

Thanks in Advance .....

You can use expressions instead of dimensions, if possible. And, vote for this:

Hi, Dathu.qv

I recommend you check that the horizontal scroll bar works as intended before the users get to see it as I have found scroll bars sometimes do not work for iPad. Instead you have to swipe the table within the object to move horizontally.

Hi, Dathu.qv

I believe voting is limited to QlikView customers, Partners and QlikTech employees. If you have one, I recommend contacting your QlikView Partner to make sure you are set up correctly.

Hi Dathu.qv,

You can reposition your expression between two of the dimensions (drag). Now your entire straight table has a horizontal scrollbar.

Add a empty Expression and drag it to the 1st.

Hi GU Sharon and Dathu.qv,

That's also a possibility. You should unmark the enable-checkbox to hide this empty expression. The horizontal scrollbar will still be available.

Hi AB,

Have you already tried adding another (empty) dimension?

And did you make sure that Width is adjusted in de Caption tab of the chart properties?

Hi Janneke,

Yes , I did tried adding empty expression to the chart.

Drag this expression to first postion.

Set the width to minimum, but still scroll bar is not appearing.

Thanks,

I was needing a similar solution, found this post, and can tell you what I did to get a horizontal scroll bar on a straight table to span all of the dimension and expression fields. Creating a dummy dimension did not work. But if you create the dummy expression that works.

Scenario I had was a straight table, 11 dimension fields consecutively on the left, and all my expressions after that. (NOTE: I noticed that when I had 10 or fewer dimension fields consecutively on the left, I had a horizontal scroll bar that spanned my whole table by default. I haven't been able to find anything in the Community if this is a feature or flaw.)

(1) Create the dummy expression > leave the Enable checkbox checked (so you can watch the behavior in later steps) > OK.

(2) Drag the dummy expression in between the last 2 dimension fields. The horizontal scroll bar now spans the whole table.

(3) Go back into the table Properties > uncheck the Enable checkbox. The horizontal scroll bar should continue to span the whole table, and the dummy expression disappear.
