Could you attached your app?

Which version of QV are you using?

Are you using Now() function?

yea.. i am using now() function.

this is my expression

=IF( [System1FinishDate] > Now() Or [System0FinishDate]> Now () , vImagePath&'green_circle.png',

IF(Len(Trim([Software Date] ))=0 ,vImagePath&'warning_circle.jpg',vImagePath&'tick_icon.png' )

)

Now() function calculates each and every seconds, so expression execute for every seconds.. And chart refresh the data. So it looks like that..

Instead of now() , try with today() function.

I assume you are using version prior to 12.

I'm using 12 and now() is not working here anymore.

Is kind of a shame as sometimes you need to have some 'animation' available...

Now() is used when we need to deal with time alone.

Hi,

I have used odd function with second(Now(1)) to blink or highlight based on the value, it is working fine in my Qlikview desktop, but when I published it to Access Point and opened it in IE or chrome it is not blinking or highlighting as it is showing as static image.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
