MyCell value

[NickP_DF]

Hello guys,

I have a pivot table in whose cells I'd like to set various colors based on every cell value; since the cell value formula is very complex, is it possibile helping the reading by setting in the background properties a "cell value" (?) Qlikview function instead of repeating the cell value formula?  

Something like:

If (MyCellValue>10, LightRed(), If((MyCellValue>7, Yellow(), If((MyCellValue>2, LightBlue(),LightGreen())))  

Thank you so much.

@NickP_DF  Probably you could do it in background color expression.. Something like below

If (YourActualExpression>10, LightRed(), If((YourActualExpression>7, Yellow(), If((YourActualExpression>2, LightBlue(),LightGreen())))

Hi Kush,

thank you for the reply.

It's sure that your suggestion is correct, but my problem is that I don't like to explicit MyActualExpression because it's very long and complex, so the readability of the whole background color expression is compromised.

Besides that every change in the main formula should be made n-times (both in the cell expression and in the background color expressions).

All that should be very easier if I could get the value of my cell by meas of a Qlik funcion.

Thanks.

@NickP_DF  Probably you can put your complex expression in variable (Without "=") and call that variable in background color expression like below

If ($(vMeasure)>10, LightRed(), If(($(vMeasure)>7, Yellow(), If(($(vMeasure)>2, LightBlue(),LightGreen())))  

where vMeasure is variable which stores the actual expression

ok, I was hoping there was a QlikView native function...

Thank you for this suggestion Kush, I'll work on it. 😉
