Display Text

Wondering if this is possible in Qlikview. I have a table with several columns. What I would like is for the user to be able to hover over a column header and see a pop-up that defines what the column header means.

Is this possible in Qlikview?

I believe you can only include one help text in the chart.

You could use a multi-line header like:

= 'Column-Title' & chr(10) & chr(10) &

   'Some long explanation ...'

Thank you. Would this text always appear, or only if the user hovered over the column.

If you used within the presentation of the header a single row you will see as header 'Column-Title' and if you hoover over them the rest of the content will be displayed within a popup.

Where in Qlikview is the multi-line header expression entered?

Hi,

Heres a sample of how I've implemented help options.

Requires one variable and uses show hide under Chart properties > Layout and the text object > Action > external > Variable

Hope this helps.
