qliksense set variable

Hello

I'm new to QlikSense

I have a transaction table that has amounts in two currencies

I want the end user click a button to set a variable vCurrency

then in my expression I want to use if else statement and display either Sum(Sales_currency_1) or Sum(Sales_Currency_2)

depending on the value of the variable which is set by a button

Please advise

I can walk on water when it freezes

if you want a button in qlik sense, you have to get one as extension. I would rather suggest to create an inline table with single field with two values, may be like:

Load * inline [

CurrencyFlag

Currency1

Currency2

];


And then define your variable like vCurrency=CurrencyFlag. Now when the users selects a value from CurrencyFlag, it gets assigned to the variable. Then your if expression should work fine.
