One List Box Controls Multiple Alternate States

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I use Alternate States in one of my Qlikivew apps. There're 3 new states plus 1 default state.

Now I want to create a list box of a Field that can control all the states at the same time. Is this possible? If not is there any other solution that may help me, like a Macro?

Thanks in advance.

There are different approaches to your request.

For example, you can create a field event trigger in document properties to copy the selection in e.g. default state to alternate state AS1.

Or you can use a set expression in your chart to override the specific field selection in your alternate state from default state, something like

=sum({<Dim1=$::Dim1>}Expression1)

See attached a demo of both approaches (I assume you don't actually need to do selections in the alternate state list boxes then, I show them just for demonstration).

Thanks for your reply!

However this doesn't solve my problem, because you can only specify one alternate state on an event trigger. In my case, I need to change on two alternate states at the same time.

You can specify different alternate states for a second action.

So I believe the suggested two approaches can both be extended to as many alternate states as you need.
