Link two QlikView models

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 10:02:16 GMT

This is a theoretical question.

Is it possible to pass through a selection in one QlikView model to another QlikView model?

For example: if a QlikView model selection of a cost centre were made in a summary financial model, could this be passed to a detailed model, assuming the models are on the same server and accessible by a user?

Ideas of how to do nthis would be gratefully received, but at this stage I just wanted to know whether it seems theoretically possible.

Thanks in advance.

In QV9 there is a new action, Open QlikView document

There you can transfer your selection to a new document.

Hi Simon,

You can do that with the button object and actions.

New Object --> Button --> Actions --> Add --> External --> Open QlikView Document --> Transfer State / Apply State on top of current.

To do this, your field in both documents must have the same alias

Thanks for the help, that's exactly what I wanted.

Does this work well using ajax?

I've never tried with Ajax...

Does this work when there are selections on other fields not applicable to both models?

It doesn't seem to work for mine..
