How do I show only those fields in list box whose data is present in qlikview?

I have a dimension YEAR which shows values from 2008 to 2015. However the data is available only from 2011-2015. How do I not display those extra values.?

Qlik can only show data that is actually in the application, so apparently you DO have data for 2008, 2009 and 2010.

If this is the result of a Master Calendar being created from a too early date, adjust that in your script.

May you live in interesting times!

From 2008 to 2010 it is greyed out. I want to remove the grey values. How should I proceed?

I think your link the date fields from two table that's why you getting additional dates.

You can add a expression in the list box like if(YEAR>='2011',YEAR)

or  you can reduce the data in the script level by applying the where conditions

or

create a extra field in the table where you need to refer the YEAR

go to>list box>in the dimension list > at last you have option called expression>add this

if(YEAR>='2011',YEAR)

Hi Harshit,

      What avinash said is correct only. You must have added the expression under expressions tab. Instead give it in the general tab itself.. see the below picture

now type the expression here and press ok.

Expression to be given: =if(YEAR>='2011',YEAR)

Hope it helps!
