Loop Macro

Hello Everybody,

I tried to do a macro pressing x times a button (here x is a field selection in a table of values)
but when i use a non constant variable (here v) in the loop for it doesn't work for some reason :

sub Active


set v=ActiveDocument.Fields("NbValues").GetSelectedValues
if v.Count > 0 then
    for i=1 to v
        ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("BU09").Press
       for j=1 to 1000
       next
    next
end if


end Sub

Any idea how to solve this ?

ActiveDocument.Fields("NbValues").GetSelectedValues returns an Array so you would have to select an array item and get it's value. To get the value of the first item:

v.Item(0).Number

You may find it simpler to use the Evaluate function which allows you to use Qlik expressions. 

for i=1 to ActiveDocument.Evaluate("=Min(NbValues)")
