Can we use getfieldselection function in load editor of qliksense

[siddharthsoam]

Hi I want to use getfieldselections() function for fetching value of my quarter from filter in data load editor. Is it possible in Qliksense?

Hi,

afaik i don't think you can use getfieldselection() in the backend.

but what are trying to achieve let us know.

we will try to help you .

if possible share sample

[shraddha_g]

Store front end selections in Variableby using Concat(GetFieldSelection(Fieldname),',').

And use that variable in backend

Hi Shraddha,

Thanks for coming in, I have created a variable. can you tell me how to use it inside my load editor when I want to use inside a column.

[shraddha_g]

what is the script?

[siddharthsoam]

My variable description is Concat(GetFieldSelections(Quarter),',') and name is q_selection

I want to make a column using it i.e. quarter-1 as previousquarter.

[shraddha_g]

then again previous quarter calculation you can do at front end and then use that in concat().

For quarter field create Previous Quarter Field in Backend.

and for quarters selection you can use Concat( {<QuarterField = p(QuarterField)>} PreviousQuarterField,',')

[siddharthsoam]

So basically we can do manipulations based on filter selections in front end only

[shraddha_g]

You can manipulate in Backend also if you are selecting only one value in frontend
