How to display the data based on Input value

Hi,

I have a input box in that i can able to select the values from 1 to 100 with step 10(i.e, 1,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100). I have different fields for carrier table in the edit script. CarrierID is one field among that table. If i select 1 or 10 or 20 etc from the input box. I want to display the last n CarrierID records(i.e n=1 or 10,20) along with other fields of carrier table. How can i do this plz help me.

Hi Boppy,

when you read the data into qv for Carriers do you have one record per carrier?

If so read in the data and add a field like this

rowno() as CarrierIdSeqNbr

this will go from 1 to n depending on how many Carrier records you have read.

at the end of the load put the last CarrierSeqNbr into a variable like this

set vMaxCarrierSeqNbr=peek('CarrierSeqNbr',-1,name of table you just loaded);

you have yourvariable from your drop down box giving how many records you want to see (let's call this vNbrRecordsToDisplay) , you have the maximum record loaded and each Carrier record has a sequential number attached to it.

now use an if clause in your expression

dimension CarrierId

if(CarrierIdSeqNbr>$(vMaxCarrierSeqNbr)-$(vNbrRecordsToDisplay),1)

set supress missing to yes on the presentation tab.

yourchart will show the last n CarrierIds based on your input value.

hope this helps.

Hi PatAgen,

Thanks for responding to my task. I did as u said but it's not working. But one think i didn't understood, u said that at the end of load set the variable by using peek function. What is the use of it. I'm attaching the screen shot of edit script what i did can u check once and give reply whether it is correct or not.

I can't see your edit. try attaching your qvw file and I'll give it a look over.

The peek function reads one specific record from a given table.

in my answer it i used as the way of recovering th elast Sequential number so as to have in a varaibale the maximum numbre of rows.

Hi Boppy,

I can see the code now! The peek,order should look like this:

peek('CarrierIdSeqNbr',-1,Carrier)

the tablename should be the one in qv not the one in your sql database.

remember to sort your sql query to get your Carrier id in the right order.
