Create a Variable toggle without extension

[MK9885]

Hi,

Is there a way to create a variable toggle button in Qlik Sense front end without using extension?

I can create using extension but in Cloud we cannot have extensions installed.

Cloud is very painful to work on...

Why release a half baked Qlik Sense product which is not close to what we have now...

First the struggle was to adjust from Qlik View to Qlik Sense with new UI and missing actions/colors or triggers etc

Now Qlik Sense Enterprise to Cloud which seem to have nothing...

Anyway if anyone know answer to his please...

Hi Shahbaz Khan Mohammed,

After a while you'll get used to QlikSense. I've been going through the same process.

Where do you want to use your toggle button for. As a workaround you can use a variable. You can't toggle it but you can increase the number in a variable manually. just typ an higher number each time. But this workaround depends on you purpose.

I've been working with Qlik Sense for more than 3 years...

I hate Cloud specially if it is incomplete upon release

I am using a variable in my expression & in extension I'm using variable values to change the values in charts.

Can;t see a way to do same with filter box

Ex: 3 values in variable

Depending on selection the measure changes/amounts as well

I just did a test with variables, but I only can edit them in developer mode. No way for the user to update. My first solutions isn't going to help you. Sorry for that.

An other way is to create Island fields, a field not connected to any other table. The fields exists of the range of values the user is allowed to select. So you use the selected value of a field instead the value of the expression.

Do you have a sample qvf for that?

I could create new values by creating cross table then preceding load etc but the data doesn't show correctly cus of cross table.

I wish it was simple enuf for this simple thing

I've created an example which allows you to select the type of measurement (sales or quantity) and I created an example to select the number of months going back in time. So the user can select a number and the charts shows the data from the current month till the number of months selected back in time. I hope it gives you an idea what islands tables can do. Maybe it isn't exaclty the solution for you but I hope I gave you some directions.

Thanks for the help

To explain in more detail...

I'm creating variable from 5 different Dimension not values

A_Hours, B_Count, C_Hours, D_Count, E_Hours

Created a variable vHR = Access

Another variable vHRVersion =

if(vHR='Access','OK',

if(vHR='Deny','STOP',

if(vHR='Error','Confirm')))

And in expression I'm using

sum({<Week={"$(='>=' & date(today()-84))"}>} [$(vHRVersion)_Hours] )

Now I select values between OK-STOP-Confirm to see my measure change

Can you please let me know if you have any idea to create a variable toggle without buttons or extensions

My knowledge of Qlik Sense is very limited, I don't think I am the right guy to ask this question. May be omarbensalem‌ might have ideas for you.
