Hide expression value from hover-over popup

Tue, 12 Jan 2016 11:30:12 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to hide the default expression value that populates the hover-over popup screen. (I do not want to hide the popup in it's entirety, just the default expression value)

See attachment for example. There are 2 metric shown in the graph and there is a 3rd invisible one that creates a text-line.

When I now hover over the bars for Metrics 1 & 2 for period 6 I respectively get:

I want to hide the default textline in the middle so that no matter which bar in period 6 I hover-over, I get:

How can I hide the default value expression value so that it only shows the dimension & the textline? (Alternatively I would also be happy when I can ONLY show the textline)

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Jorrit

Try disabling 'pop-up labels' in presentation tab of your chart properties. This should only show your third expression then.

Go to Presentation tab and uncheck Pop up label and change the text as pop up expression as below

= 'Dimension =' & Dimension& chr(10)& 'Multiplied = ' & sum([Metric 1])*sum([Metric 2])

Try this

1 - Disabling 'pop-up labels' in presentation tab of your chart properties, in the middle of the bottom section on Presentation Tab

2 - Change the third expression in the Expression Tab to this

='Metric Value = ' & Dimension & Chr(10)

'Multiplied = '

& sum([Metric 1])*sum([Metric 2])

You can Change the 'Metric Value' for the third expression to anything you want, like Dimension Value or whatever

Hello,

I tried what all of you recommend but when I disable "pop up labels" the entire popup does not appear anymore.

See attached to my original message V2 of my QVW where I disabled "Pop up labels" and changed Expression nr 3 as proposed.

Works for me in 11.20 SR11 64 bit

That is very strange to me.

We are using version 11.20 SR7 64 bit:

Should this not not work with this version too?

Could there maybe be some general setting that I accidentally have wrong that causes the pop-up to not appear?

This does not work for me in version 11.20 R7.

What version are you running?

Hello all,

Some more searching on this led me to find that this is a confirmed bug since 11.20 SR7 which is solved in 11.20 SR10.

The release notes of SR10 contain this line under "Bugs solved in SR10":

69025 [Text as Pop-up] in [Chart Properties] -> [Expressions] doesn't pop up custom message since QV11.2 SR7

See this on page 24 of this release notes document:

https://community.qlik.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/38-138248/QlikView%2011.2%20build%2012736%20SR10%20Beta%20Releas…

So I guess we'll have to upgrade to get this functionality back.

Thanks for the help.

Jorrit
