How to - Dynamic Look and Feel

The concept here is to have colors and logo dynamically changed based on a listbox.

Steps:

1)

Download attached package and saved included picture to a folder.

2)

Create new application and copy and paste below code:

Company:

load * inline [

PickName,Company,val

pepsilogo.jpg,Pepsi,1

cokelogo.jpg,Coke,2

catlogo.jpg,Cat,3

]

;

Colors:

load * inline [

No.,      Pepsi,    Coke,Cat,Variable Name,Info

1, 'RGB(232,17,45)','RGB(184,19,33)','RGB(0,0,0)',vTabActiveBg,Active Backround

2, 'RGB(0, 133, 202)','RGB(51,11,12)','RGB(255,223,0)',vTabInactiveBg,Incative Background

]

;

T1:

load  * inline [

Product,Value,Country

A,1,Russia

B,2,UK

C,3,Poland

D,4,Germany

E,5,Czech

]

;

pics:

bundle load * Inline

[

PickName,Path

pepsilogo.jpg,'D:\Multilanguages\pepsilogo.jpg'

cokelogo.jpg,'D:\Multilanguages\cokelogo.jpg'

catlogo.jpg,'D:\Multilanguages\catlogo.jpg'

]

3)

Change this part

'D:\Multilanguages\catlogo.jpg'

to  a path with a folder with your pictures.

Reload.

4)

Create:

a) List box -  with field "Company"

b) Bar chart -- with "Product" as Dimension

                        and SUM(Values) as Expression

c) Text box-

with Representation as "Image"

and below expression in Text box:

=if(Company=Company,Info(PickName),'NA')

5)

Add 3 variables:

a) vTabActiveBg

      =$(=fieldvalue($(vCompany),1))

b) vTabInativeBg

  =$(=fieldvalue($(vCompany),2))

c) vCompany

      =Chr(39)&Company&Chr(39)

6)

In the Caption section of an object change the Base Color of " Active " and "Inactive Colors" to

"Calculated" with an expression

for "Inactive Caption" use:

=vTabInactiveBg

For "Active Caption"

=vTabActiveBg

The final picture will be similar to this one

Now you can use  the list box to change the colors and the logo of the company.

As you probably realize at this point, you can add  more variables to have every other color dynamically change this way.

Hi,

I tried to replicate what you did but I have difficulty in using Qlik sense  when you write

c) Text box-

with Representation as "Image"

and below expression in Text box:

=if(Company=Company,Info(PickName),'NA')

and

6)

In the Caption section of an object change the Base Color of " Active " and "Inactive Colors" to

"Calculated" with an expression

for "Inactive Caption" use:

=vTabInactiveBg

For "Active Caption"

=vTabActiveBg

My result is ... the image attached

Could you attached your app?

I am ashamed but I do not know how to do

Thanks for sharing, I've never used the function Info() like this. I have to say an open mind is indispensable when we work with Qlik.
