Exclude a project

Hii,

I'm making a dashboard were you can see all the costs per project (called 'VTW nummer'). So every project has different costs. Now there is 1 project called 'S-VTW-009' who has such high costs that it **bleep**s up the dashboard. So I want to make a button at the top of the dashboard when I press on it that it selects everything and EXCLUDES 'S-VTW-009'. This way I can show everyone what the effect is of this one project, then delete it from the dashboard and continu making conclusions. 

I hope you understand me.

I uploaden the Excel sheet what I use. 'VTW nummer' are the projects and 'Financiële consequenties' are the costs. 

Right now I deleted 'S-VTW-009' from the Excel because I was unable to make this button. When one of you has the solution I will add it back to the Excel and reload Qlikview.

The easiest way is:
1) Create a Button
2) set an Action "Select in Field"
-> Field = Project -> Search String = 'S-VTW-009'
3) set another Action "Select Excluded"
-> Field = Project

This way all Projects except 'S-VTW-009' are selected on Button Click.
if there are more Projects you want to exclude think about using a Bookmark instead of "Select Field Action" in step 2.

Antoher Way is removing this Project from your object in Dimension or Expression:
Dimension: if(Project<> 'S-VTW-009', Project)
-> Exclude NULL Values

This Excel is including VTW-009

for all your Actions check your "field" again.

Put [] around your field cause there is a blank in the field Name.

i usually add a = at the start to get the autocomplete and then remove the = afterwards.
