Triggers and Containers

Hi all,

Im trying to put together a one sheet solution with a container with a few charts inside it.

each chart shows something slightly different, is it possible to have a text box show different texts dependent on the active object?

thanks for any help guys

Hi,

i think the only way is to use a macro to get the actual index of the container and place some text in a textbox.

Other way would be to use but use buttons or textboxes instead of container object with trigger functionality.

You can use an action which sets a variable value and then use show/hide functionality in the charts (Conditional) depending on the value of this variable.

Cheers,

Patric

what type of text or inforamtion are you wanting to show based on the container selected - is it inforamtion that can be included in the caption or would Text in Chart functionality work or does the text/inforamtion to display have to be outside of the active chart/object?
