Alternate state field selection

sundarakumar — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 14:17:03 GMT

Hi all,

Am having a field called "area", i have used alternate states in my chart.

One of my bar chart is in alternate state called "alter"...

now i want to show the current field selection of "area" in alternate state "alter".

I want to show them while right click and print the chart.

when i check Print Selection stamp, its showin me the current selection in default alternate state.

I can show them in the trainlng text

but even there i cannot selct any altenate state.

Can someone pls help in writing an expression like

=concat(getfieldselctions({alter}area),' - ').

but the above shown expression doesnt work.

is there a way to show the field selection of a particular alternate state, without selection the alternate state in the objec.

Thanks in advance.

GetFieldSelections does not include a set identifier but concat does.

Try something like the following:

=concat({alter} getfieldselctions(area),' - ').

Try this

=concat (getfieldselctions ({alter} area),' - ')

Thanks for the reply. It is still returing the selections in inherited alternate state, i think it is because the the alternate state is specified in the out expression. Any other suggessions?

Getfieldselections doesn't support alternate states.

But, You can try the concat function

concat({[alter]} distinct area, '-').
