Mouse over linear gauge question

[alexis]

Hi,

In the example below I am using a "gauge" object to show a result of a calculation of (expression=X/Y) in a linear gauge.

The gauge has been setup using a Min of 0 and a Max of 2 and the result is specified as a percentage to show the result of the calculation which it does just fine.

When I hover over the chart I see the result (106% in this case) as you can see below - the user needs to see the values of X and Y as a popup (or some other means) when they hover over the "region". Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I have managed to solve this myself:

a) In the single expression that I had I unchecked the "Text as pop-up"

b) I created another expression and for that one I checked "Text as pop-up"

In that expression I defined:

= chr(10) &

  'X= ' & X1 & chr(10) &

  'Y= ' & Y11 & chr(10) &

  'Diff =' & num(X1-Y11)

The result can be seen below.
The initial line-feed chr(10) above was used to separate the result (106%) which for some reason I cannot stop it from appearing, from the items (X, Y and Difference) that I wanted to show on the pop-up. Hope this is useful to someone!

Hi Alexis,

If you go to the presentation tab and at the bottom un-tick 'pop-up labels', I think this should still show your calculated labels but will suppress your initial label. Glad you got it sorted otherwise!

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for responding.

Unfortunately, if you uncheck the "Popup-labels" you lose all pop-ups so I'm going to have to leave with the unnecessary result value for the benefit of having the other values which are needed - if anybody knows how to solve it completely then I will be very happy!!

regards

Alexis

What version of Qlikview are you using? I've got three expressions, my bottom two with "text as pop-up" ticked, top one without. On the presentation tab I've also then unticked pop-up labels, but if I hover my mouse over my chart, I can still see the labels for the other two expressions.

Talking that out-loud, it sounds like that probably isn't meant to happen though, so may be a bug with my version? I'm using v11.2 SR10.

I have 2 expressions the first without "text as pop-up" and the bottom with.

If I uncheck "pop-up labels" nothing shows and when I check it then the popup shows the values of both of the expressions...

I'm using 11.20.12451.0 SR7 64-bit Edition (x64)

Just checked (as I have a version of SR7 as well) and you're entirely correct, so this must be a bug in SR10. Will report - apologies it hasn't solved your issue though!
