Using Created Master Dimension in Color Expression

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have created Master Item for Dimension. I want to use this Dimension master item in color code by expression. Dimension Master item is not getting recognized in color code expression. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

I don't think any of the Master Items (Dimensions & Measures) can be referenced in any of the formulas. It would make a nice Idea, i.e. a suggestion for a future development.

For now, you need to use the actual field names or calculations in formulas. If you need to use the same calculation several times, you can store the calculation in a variable and then reference the variable in a $-sign expansion. For example:

vMasterDim = 'IF(A=B, 'Good', 'Bad')

Color Expression:

IF( '$(vMasterDim)' = 'Good', Green(), Red())

This is overly simplified, of course, but it should get the message across.

cheers,

Hi Oleg Troyansky,

Thanks for the help. Using Variables helped to solve the problem. It will be good if we can use Master Dimensions directly for Calculations. Hope Qlik will develop this feature in future versions.
