Access Text of one text object from another text object

[Anonymous]

Hi

I have two text objects. I would like to access the text displayed in one them from the second one. For example, doing something like

TextObject2 = TextObject1.text

Is there a way to do this in qlikview?

Thanks

Create a variable for Text Box 1

vText1 = YourTextExpression

Now Use the same in Text Box 2 expression

=vText1

or

=$(vText1)

No. But, what stops you to use the same expression in the textobject2 as in textobject1 ?

It's not possible to reference values in other objects. What you can do is put the expression that returns the value in a variable and use that variable in both text objects:

vMyVar: Hello World

TextObject1: =vMyVar

TextObject2: =vMyVar

I was using an if condition to display something in textbox2 based on what is displayed in textbox1
