Qlik Sense action button for selecting multiple values in a field

Hi,

I have found multiple posts for this but none have worked.

I'm trying to create an action button for multiple values of a field.  It works fine for 1 value from the list below, but I cannot seem to get the syntax right for all 3 field values below.

 Action=set values in a field

field = Problem

value = '35A01 EAS REFERRAL FOR UCC'   (this works okay - for any single value from below)

bit I need all 3 below included??

(I have tried with quotes and without, pipe separators...etc...)

35A01 EAS REFERRAL FOR UCC
35A02 GP REFERRAL FOR UCC
35A03 NURSE REFERRAL FOR UCC

Ok, so I tried to upgrade to April 2020 and for some reasons, it's not working.

Anyway, here's what's working:

=Concat(distinct {<ID={"35*"}>} ID, ';')

Give it a try and it worked for me 🙂

many thanks, that worked a treat!  I hope that also clarifies it for others who had been querying the issue.

To enhance the action button further, is there an equivalent for '35*' or using the wildcard ? other values will be added over time but will always start with 35.    

thanks

That is possible. You select the 'Select value in a field' and the value is ='35*'

I had done that, but nothing is selected when the button is used.

But the previous method will work , so many thanks.

Apologies but I cannot see the image.

I'm using November 2019 and it's working properly.

Here's what my button action looks like:

I am using April 2020 version.

note that the options appear slightly different to yours  i.e. 'select values in a field'

Thanks for your images. I tried below settings but no response when I click the button.

Can you try with the equal sign? ='35*'
