Using MetaData (comments on expressions)

jjordaan — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 07:37:17 GMT

Hi QlikView addicts,

I am playing a little bit with metadata within QlikView, especially with comments on a field.
This is working oke but I only get a comment when I'm using the field as a dimension. When I'm using the same field as a expression qlikview does not show the comment?.

I create the comment as follow:

Comment Field:
Mapping LOAD * INLINE
[
Field, Comment
SalesNo, This is the number of the sales order
CustID, This is the ID of the customer
Status This is the status of the order
];
Comment comment fields Using Field;

Am I doing something wrong or I do not understand completely.

Thanks for all the help.

I think you have to change

Comment comment fields Using Field;

by (all the fields)

COMMENT FIELDS USING [Comment Field]

or (individually)

COMMENT SalesNo WITH 'This is the number of ...'
