Pass Parameter into Qlik Function

[kavicsgym]

Hi,

I want to define an eExpression, with a Parameter to deciced the "rank'" - so if I want the 1st or 2nd or 3rd  - sorted value:

=FirstSortedValue(Field, SortWeight, $1)

The real expression is this, works ok if I use a number or nothing for the 3rd Param.

=FirstSortedValue( TOTAL   DIM1&';'&DIM2, 
-Aggr(  

$(eZZZ) / $(eYYY_0) +
$(eZZZ) / $(eYYY_1) +
$(eZZZ) / $(eYYY_2)
                  , DIM1,  DIM2)  
     ,$1
     )

Thanks! Hope I can do this 🙂

Well you can add a variable maybe?

Let's call it : vParam :

As an expression :

=' number '&(vParam)& ' is : '&FirstSortedValue(id, -sales, $(vParam))

Thanks for your reply, it works ok, but I have a different use case.

I use the expression several times parallely, so it has to return DIM1&DIM2 value at the same time for the Rank No. 1, No. 2. and No. 3.

Any more ideas? I am not sure if the synthax of the 3rd parameter ($1) is ok?

Thanks!

I made it working, the issue was not with the Parameter but the eExpression definition:

=FirstSortedValue(TOTAL Field, SortWeight, $1) not OK,  if used in chart or textbox like: '$(FirstSortedExpr(2))'

=FirstSortedValue(TOTAL Field, SortWeight, 2)  OK if used in chart or textbox like: '$(FirstSortedExpr)'

FirstSortedValue(TOTAL Field, SortWeight, $1) OK,  if used in chart or textbox like: $(FirstSortedExpr(2))

So I assume it must be that in the above examples, the Expression was calculated 'in the background' (first) and its result delivered as a string.

In the 3rd, the Expression is only calculated in the front end object with the passed paramter.

Any feedback / affaimation on this would be appreciated...  Thanks!
