Calling a function in another function parameter

[#1]

Is it possible to do something like this in qlikview:

=GetSelectedCount(GetCurrentField(Region))

where Region is a cyclic group dimension. What is worse is that some dimensions in the group have a space in their name, such as Zip Code.

GetCurrentField use in cyclic group

Hi,

I started doing the same exact thing. I created a variable called vCurrentRegion like so:

='[' & GetCurrentField(Region) & ']'

Then, in trying to test it I created a text box and added the following expression to it:

=$(vCurrentRegion)

But, the text box just displayed a dash character. After your suggestion, I simply used the $ expansion above in my chart expression and everything works fine there.

Can you tell me why is it that the text box does not display the current cyclic dimension name as it should? I am baffled.
