Qlik Sense variables

[JacobJones]

How can I set a variable that is updated by user input. Say I have a field, Program, that has a filter pane. When the user selects a Program from the filter pane I would like a variable, vProgram, to be updated so that it can be consumed in other functions. This is for Qlik Sense and the data is already loaded. I want to do this from the variables window.

If you don't want to use Input box, but want to use input from Filter Panel you can use GetFieldSelections:

Let vProgram = GetFieldSelections([Program],'","')

And use it like this in formula. However, you might want to consider limiting the formula to use only 1 value of the selected, as more selected values may cause troubles with your formulas. Check Qlik help
