Passing a field value to another field

Hi,

I want to pass the values selected in 'Field 1' as a filter for 'Field 2'. I tried using a variable to get the selected values of 'Field 1' and pass the variable value to 'Field 2' using set analysis. But, the variable value is always null. The variable definition I used is given below:


getFieldSelections([Field 1])


I am not sure why the variable is not getting the selected 'Field 1' values. Is there any other way to resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

in your variable you should use this value:

=getselectedvalue(Field1)

I think earlier you used value without equal sign.

agree with Anatoly. 😄

You can achieve this even without trigger. Also if your field has more than one word enclose them with brackets ex:


=GetFieldSelections( [Field Name Here])

Got it.

The reason was that my variable name has a space in between (v_Product Name) and so, the selected values were not displayed. Now changed the variable name and it is working.

Thanks a lot for all your help.

Cheers,

Haneesh

HI sparur,

May I ask - in your test.qvw, when you are changing selections in Field1, how are you getting that to change the Variable1 value please ? I just cannot see it ...

Thanks
