Background green when selected

[Koen_D]

Hi Qlik experts,

I'm facing a visualisation issue, I'm close to the solution but not quite there.

My users have a table where they want to be able to select something in a pivot table, have all the rows stay as they were before selecting (so not collapsing to only the filtered fields), and have the background of the field be the same green colour as shows when selecting something in Qlik. Basically, they want to use the filtering of Qlik as a selection tool. The selections are then used elsewhere in the dashboard using GetFieldSelections().

So I want two things to happen:

1. When filtering this table, still show all the rows no matter the selection.

2. Fill the background of the filtered fields green.

I've managed to do part 1 through adding a 1 to the set analysis of the measurement. So this works.

Part 2 I managed to get working adding this to the conditional background field:

If(WildMatch(GetFieldSelections([FieldToSelect]),[FieldToSelect] >= 0, RGB(0,152,69))

The RGB color is the green that Qlik uses when selecting something. 

This works (and I don't really know why it works), but only if I select more than 1 field (or no fields at all). If I select 2, 3, 4, 5 fields, it works perfectly. If I select only 1 field however, somehow ALL rows get the background color. So, the wildmatch corresponds to every value.

Any clues on how to fix this? Is this simple a bug?

@Koen_D ,

Used the same expression provided by you. Its working for me even if I don't select any field value or select just 1 value.

Exp used: If( WildMatch( GetFieldSelections([FieldToSelect]),[FieldToSelect] ) >= 0, RGB(0,152,69))

Just 1  value selected:

selected more than 1 value:

no selection:

Hi Aditya,

Then I guess it actually is a bug on the patch we're working on (August 2023 patch 9). Patching is always at least 6 months behind. Thank you for verifying the code actually working.
