Toggle Button

anonymous1 — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 03:02:47 GMT

Hi,

ive created a toggle button which i want to override selection made in list box and switch between 2 bar charts.

i created a variable(vOverrideVariable):

= if(vOverrideVariable = 0,1,0)

i created a button:

Actions>Set Variable> Variable = vOverrideVariable

in both the bar charts, under Layout> Show>Conditional:

vOverrideVariable=1 for chart1 and vOverrideVariable=0 for chart2

however, when i select the button, the variable definition is disappearing? does anyone have any idea as to how this is possible?

TIA

I'm not sure why it is disappearing, but try setting the action like this:

Set Variable > Variable = vOverrideVariable; Value =-$(vOverrideVariable)

And set you charts to:

vOverrideVariable=1 for chart1 and vOverrideVariable=-1 for chart2

When I toggle, the variable typically doesn't hold the function, just the value itself. The function lives in the Button trigger. Also, remember to create and initialize the variable to one of its two possible values.

Toggle Setting A:

Toggle Setting B:

thank you everyone for your responses, i now have it working. although the the graphs will change with the toggle button and no longer with the selection list box, is it possible to allow it to change with both?

I'm not following. You want to use a list box selection to show or hide certain graphs? can you give me more info? do you have a field like "graph_type" with values "1,0"?

Maybe along the lines of:

IF(vOverideSelection = 1,1,GetFieldSelections(graph_type))
