We have a QV document that handles Expenses vs Budget. We want the user to be able to add comments to an excel file through a QV button. Also, the user needs to be able to remove a comment (meaning deleting a specific row in the file). Any suggestion/code on how to handle this?
I have done this with a Microsoft Access database in 8.2 (32 bit version), but there is no 64 bit drivers and we are on 8.5.
So I have everything working in 8.5 Developer but when users try to added a comment (or delete a comment) when using the Internet Explorer plugin an error message pops up "Macro parse failed. Funtionality was lost." with the caption of the box titled "QlikOcx".
My set up is very similar to sjcharles' in that I am only allowing these comments to be entered when a single Order ID is selected. My question is, from within the script, how do you put the selected Order ID into the excel document? How do I reference it in the script?
To get the selected value, use the QlikView function: GetFieldSelections(Order_ID).
I would create a variable with the definition: =GetFieldSelections(Order_ID). Then in your script, use ActiveDocument.Variable("VarName").GetContent.String to pull out that value.
I can't seem to get the field selection. The field is "Order ID". So it has a space in the middle. In general it seems if you put the square brackets: [Order ID] it works, like in counting orders with the Count function. When I try to make this call though, it doesn't work. When debugging it just says: GetFieldSelections Empty. For the record I know for a fact that an Order ID is selected 😛
I make it a habit to not use spaces in my field names. In many different data programs, you have to work a little harder to accommodate for those spaces.
