Make Selections via a variable

[nz_chris]

Hello folks,

I am quite new in this business and have a rather simple issue here I guess.

I have two alternative states which result in one bar chart.

For the convenience of the user I want them to make selections in one state and I will transfer it to the other state via an action and also select them via an action. So far so good.

I have four filter panes of which I store the selected values semicolon separated into different variables for each dimension. My solution works for 3 of 4.

The dimension which does not work has alpha numerical values. I tried to work around by converting the values into text but this had not solved the problem.

Any suggestions to this matteer?

Hi

Can you share some more information and what happens.

My first guess would be the Values need to wrapped in ' i.e. Single quotes.

Hi @Mark_Little ,

I have article numbers like:

And I try to move the selected ones into a variable, which works.

What does not is that I want to take this selection into another state

This is how the values are stored within the variable:

@Mark_Little 

after adding single quotes like you suggested my data looks like:

But this did not  solve it

Instead of ; use ,

You are trying for other State and in one state it is working fine, Please check if you have applied state correctly on second instance.

try below in Value Fx   in the Field Selection Action   or Try with "Toggle Field Selection"

='($(=trim(GetFieldSelections(Artikel,'|'))))'

@vinieme12 

like so? This way it does not work. Also not with toggle.

The Dimension "Artikel" is in a different state, how do I manage that? "Artikel" and "FAZ_Artikel" are in two different states.

@neerajthakur 

I have for actions and just in one it does not work. I set up each of them accordingly

[vinieme12]

Add the state name parameter to getfieldselections()

='($(=trim(GetFieldSelections(Artikel,'|',,'alternatestatename'))))'
