How to insert a comment on a specific value of a dimension

Hi to all,

what I'm trying to do is to add a comment on a specific value of a dimension.

I mean: I know I can add a comment to the whole expression and it will be showed in the column header:

Comment.jpg

but I'd like to show it only when I hover my mouse on that particular value.

I tried also with this expression in the field Comment:

If(Dimension = 'My Specific Value','bla')

But didn't work for me.

Any ideas on how to solve it?

What about using of "Comment fieldname with comment"? Is it possible with this statement defining the specific value of the fieldname for which to add the comment?

Thanks for your support, best regards,

Mario

It's not possible to add comments to dimension values in qlikview. The option you found is for the dimension itself, not for it's values.

You can add an extra field in the script to the table that contains that dimension and add the comments there. If you want users to be able to change these values you can try using an Inputfield.
