List Box (With 1 fixed selection & 1 mandatory Selection)

Hello,

I would like to create a list box with 1 fixed selection & 1 mandatory Selection.

Eg. List Box has following Selection

A

B

C

D

E

I would like to have "E" locked all the time regardless of other selections, and user must select one of A - D on top of E.

Is there any possibility to do that?

Thank you.

Hi Arul,

By utilizing that, I can only select E but not E + (One of A - D) on top of E.

Any other way to do it?

HI Jonathan, by locking the list box, I cannot add One of A - D on top of E.

Hi Manojqlik, Yes, I clicked on E and it is appearing in my Current Selections screen.

Then I went to Selections -> Set clear State

But when I click on clear all later, E disappears from my current selections screen.

To my understanding, it should still remain there right?

Ashley,

Do this in your expressions:

sum({<your_field = {'E'}>}measure) + sum({< your_field  = {'$(=GetFieldSelections(your_field ))'}>} measure)

you can always add this to a variable and add the variable to the set analyses with {<$(your_variable)>}
