Dynamic Target Line Expression


I got a requirement to include target line for chart which has a drilldown from Year-->Month-->Week-->day-->Hour.

Right now I was given a static value for day, Can I make an expression out of it and make it dynamic upon drill down selection.

Any Ideas would be really appreciated..

Thanks!!

You can,  if your Drill group is called 'DrillGroup', you can use GetCurrentField() function to return the level:

EX:

if( GetCurrentField([DrillGroup]) = 'Day' ,  1000)

Hi Sanhya,

you can use: GetCurrentField(YourDrillDownGroup)

which gives you the fieldname you are currently displaying from your drilldown group.

Don't you mind Qlikview will mark this as a mistake but will execute it correctly.

Hope this helps

I don't see my Drilldown Group name to write in expression.

Here is a screenshot to guide you.

In getcurrentfield()  wrap the drill group name in square brackets []

as mentioned above: 

EX:

if( GetCurrentField([DrillGroup]) = 'Day' ,  1000)

yes ! you have at typo !  your group is actually:   Scheudling DrillDown.

However, even after the correction it may still underling a mistake (but say OK) above. if that is the case just hit ok
