"Keep" filter selections after clearing

Let's say I'd like to filter the sample table below for all the ID's that had were late on 01/01/2018.

 

DateIDStatus
01/12/2017APending
01/12/2017BPending
01/12/2017CPending
01/01/2018ALate
01/01/2018BOn Time
01/01/2018CLate
01/02/2018ALate
01/02/2018BOn Time
01/02/2018COn Time
01/03/2018AOn Time
01/03/2018B

On Time

The steps to do it manually in Qlik are pretty straightforward:

1. Filter Status = 'Late' and Date='01/01/2018'

2. Filter eligible IDs (A and C)

3. Clear selections on Status and Date fields to get the required rows:

 

DateIDStatus
01/12/2017APending
01/12/2017CPending
01/01/2018ALate
01/01/2018CLate
01/02/2018ALate
01/02/2018COn Time
01/03/2018AOn Time


I'm looking for a way to do this without the manual steps, where the user can just choose the desired date and status and view the filtered table.

I can't seem to figure out how to apply these filters a measure without including unwanted data


The SQL analogy would be:

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE ID IN (SELECT ID FROM Table WHERE Date = '01/01/2018' AND Status = 'Late')

Hi William,

Based on your stated steps, I have tried to apply selection using Actions on Button(QlikView). Please find attached app & snap.

Regards,

Create a table with ID, Date, Status as dimensions

Then use the expression

=If(Len(Only({<ID = P(ID), Date, Status>} ID)) > 0, 1, 0)


Make sure that suppress zeroes is enabled. In QV you can hide the expression. I am not sure about how you do that in QS.

I'm talking about the latest versions, not specifically April version, because I saw Michael's tarallo keynote and I read the relases notes and it wasn't mentioned there, so I think It was present before April release

From the office, for Qliksense, I use Qliksense Cloud..

it is called: Object table column visibility condition (unser the measure properties)

Hey jontydkpi

Thanks for the response;

I've tested your suggestion and, correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to stop working if "ID" is not one of the dimensions in the table (e.g. if I wanted a summary of status per date, for example)
