How to get current selection of a bar chart

Hello guys,

I would like to know how can I get the current selection that is being show on a bar chart.

My bar chart has this calculated dimension:

=if(mid([KNRSCI],3,1)<>'7',

if([CodigoFalhaSCI]<>Null,(SubField([DescricaoModuloSCI],' Test',1)&': DTC - '&[CodigoFalhaSCI]&' - '&[DescricaoFalhasSCI]&' ('&[EstatisticoFalhasSCI]&')'),(SubField([DescricaoModuloSCI],' Test',1)&': '&[DescricaoFalhasSCI]&' ('&[EstatisticoFalhasSCI]&')')))

How can I get that current selection to use on another chart (for example) without using this calculated dimension?

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards.

Ivo Marques

=replace(replace(GetCurrentSelections(' | ','='), 'NTNAME=' & getfieldselections(NTNAME) & ' | ' ,''), 'NTNAME=' & getfieldselections(NTNAME) ,'')

Hello Malek,

Thank you for the answer.


What is the NTNAME variable on your expression?

Is it the ID of the bar chart?

Because if it is the ID does not seem to be working.

create a variable and paste your expression

use GetCurrentSelections(variablename)

Hello Sivaraj,  I create the variable on the Variable Overview tool but my expression has logical expressions (If cases) I don't think you can create variable with logical tests.

My suggestion would be, if possible, to calculate the values of that dimension in the load script. The only way this might be not possible, if the dimension is dynamic. If it consists of the fields from several tables, you can still use joins to get that done in the load script.

you can use simply the =GetCurrentSelections() function.

Hello Darius,

Your suggestion is nice, but I'm afraid I cannot implement it because in my app the user can make several selections and they should be dynamic, so if I put this in the loading script, that value is always the same, right?

Best regards.
