Opening an external File from Qlikview

[Anonymous]

I have a straight table. If the user clicks one of the dimension values, an external File (Excel file in my case should be opened)

For Eg:

In my Straight Table, I have a Dimension called Brand

Brand
BMW
Audi
Hyundai

When user clicks BMW, an external file should be opened ie in my case, an excel file should be downloaded when User clicks BMW.

Is this possible in Qlikview? If so, how can that be done?

Hi Nagaraj, Thanks for that. I want to open different files for different values.

This is my Straight Table.

Brand          Sales

BMW             15

Audi               20

Hyundai          30

Here Brand is a Dimension and Sales is an expression. If BMW is clicked, a file related to BMW should be opened. Similarly if Audi is clicked, Audi file should be opened. How to do this?

Hi Guys, Can you throw some light on this about How this can be done? Or is this possible in Qlikview?

I guess there is no way to add url as dimension. I read somewhere once and somewhat achieved the result from that knowledge.  Check it and let me know.

Thanks Nagaraj. That's a brilliant hack to overcome that challenge.
