Container Objects: Displaying two objects at the same time

[#1]

Hello,

I am relatively new to QlikView and am experimenting with Container Objects right now.

What I want to achieve is:

• Have four objects (two textboxes and two charts) in the container box.
• Display two objects (one textbox and one chart) at the same time.

The background is that the charts illustrate what the textboxes are saying. I thus want them to stand together.

Any help on the topic will be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Lina,

QlikView is quite limmited about containers. If you have some objects you want to show/hide depending of a selection, you will obtain a better result controlling these objects with a variable.

step1. Create a variable (ctrl +Alt+V), for instance vShow

step 2. add a button, go to actions, add, set variable. Write name (vShow) and value (  =mod($(vShow)+1,2)  ). So it will takes values 0 and 1.

step 3. Go to chart properties, desig tab, conditional -> =if($vShow),1,0)   in those objects you want to show at first time, and =if($vShow),0,1)  in those you want to show after.

Hope it helps.

I agree with MC.  Variables for show/hide is much more flexible.  Also consider Cyclic groups in 1 chart if your expression is the same in both charts with just a different dimension.

Hi Marc,

Thank you! That is even better than using a Container Object!
