Current Selections Display

tabletuner — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:28:14 GMT

My current selections box shows the user the selected weeks in the following format:

Fields Values

Week 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17

Q1: Is it possible to change this format into

Fields Values

Week 1 to 17

Q2: If week 2 is deselected, the following format is desired:

Fields Values

Week 1, 3 to 17

Any suggestion is welcome.

Hi Tjeerd,

No options like that.

Why not submit a feature request?

Regards,

Stephen

There is very little flexibility in the standard Current Selections box. You can't control the way selections are presented.

As a work around - you can derive the Selections and the Selected Values using QlikView functions like "GetCurrentSelections" (they are all listed in the Help Section, under "System Functions"), and create your own text object where you can display selections in any way you want. The slick "Clear" and "Lock" functionality, however, will be lost ...

Hi Oleg,

I assume that the input for current selections is also used for the BIFF selection stamps for exports to excel. If true, do you agree that it is impossible to use system functions to maniulate this selection stamp?

Thanks for your replies guys
