Issue with getfieldselection(), getselectedcount(),..

Hi all,

I'm trying to add a calculation conditional to a stacked bar chart. The ideia is that values only be displayed if and Warehouse (InventoryReelsWhseCd) is selected. Thus, I think the calculation condition should be something like GetSelectedCount(InventoryReelsWhseCd)=1.

However, none of the function (getfieldselection() or getselectedcount()) is working with this field (InventoryReelsWhseCd) and I have no clue on how to understand whats going on...

When using this functions with other fields they work perfectly...

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Hi Youssef,

thanks for you response. I'm afraid i'm not allowed to share a sample.

I know how and where to configure the calculation condition, the problem is that getfieldselection() is not working with the field I need..

The first thing to do is :

Create 3 KPI objects:

1) getfieldcount(YourField)

2) len(trim(GetfieldSelections(YourFields)))

3) count(distinct YourField)

And see what happens when u don't select anything and when u select a one or different values of YourField.

Based on what happens and what would be easier for u to define in ur expressions; choose one of the 3 above.

Hope that would help?

Make sure that you grab the right field with the right spelling (considering that Qlik is case-sensitiv and that there might be also a qualifying).

GetSelectedCount(InventoryReelsWhseCd) > 0

If you put InventoryReelsWhseCd in a variable you have to use the name of the variable, the field name will not work. For example, if your filter is $(vInventoryReelsWhseCd) then you must use GetSelectedCount("=$(vInventoryReelsWhseCd)") > 0


Qlik Sense 3.2 doesn't recognize $(vInventoryReelsWhseCd) and InventoryReelsWhseCd equivalent in the GetSelectedCount function.

Might try GetPossibleCount(InventoryReelsWhseCd) to help ensure it returns a value greater than zero.

I would put the result in a KPI to ensure the function is working before adding additional logic.
