Sorry !

I don't think any Blink is possible in QlikView , but lets wait for other views.

Thanks,

The only way I know of creating a "blink" is by utilising the now() command.

If you put in the conditional show expression something like:

=mod(second(now()), 2)

This would cause whatever object you have to "blink" on/off every second. You can alter the time by using different mathematical equations within the expression. The now function is a relatively intensive function to call though!

I'm not overly sure this is what you mean, so clarifying what you want with an example may help!

Hi,

I am not sure i understand what you are trying to archive, or what you mean by blink?

Have you had a look at a Expression, add text and tick Text as Pop-up in the display options.

Dear Gaurav,

There is nothing like Blink in caption feature in Qlik

Only you need to do is you have to create create an text object and make is blink on the top of the objects.

But, this is again need the space on the sheet.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Mahamed

So you want to explain what the chart shows but don't want to use the caption? Use the title and tick 'show title in chart'?

Still not quite sure what you're actually asking...

Sounds like you just need a button and or text box to act as a trigger for conditional show boxes?

Create a variable like vShow and then clicking your button/textbox set the action to set vShow to a given number, where each number corresponds to a box about one of the particular charts - this would have to run in sequential order though, I'm not sure you'd be able to dictate showing help for a particular chart through only one button.

I'd the set the value to something like

If(vShow >= 5, 0, vShow + 1)

And then create either one textbox with an if expression for it's main body, or 5 text boxes if you have 5 charts.

Hope that makes sense.
