Select dimension value in straight table

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have a straight table in my dashboard. Also I have my dimensions listed in a list box. Whenever I select a dimension in the list box that dimension should appear in the straight table. If I deselect the dimension in list box that dimension should disappear in the straight table. Like this I have 20 values listed in the list box. Whenever a dimension is selected in the list box the selected dimension should appear and disappear one by one in the straight table. Pls help me to solve this problem with a qvw example.

There is an example in eu.demo.com website under What's new in qlikview 11 topic. Pls help me its anurgent requirement by my client.

Rgds,

Nandha

If you download the What's New in Qlikview 11 demo qvw you can see how it's done. In the script on the tab Tags you can find the load statement that creates the _dimension field with the names of the dimensions users can select for the report. The report itself contains all these dimensions, but uses conditional expressions to show or hide them based on the selections in _dimension. That's all there's to it: a field to make selections in and expressions that use the selections to determine which columns are shown. If you want another example qvw search for testselectfromstring.qvw here on the forums. It uses the same technique.

;

//Dimensions

TAG FIELDS [Account LKP] , $Dimension;

In the dimension enable it based on a condition.

The condition can be as simple as getselectedcount(dimensionname>0,1,0)

Which means if the dimension name is selected then only that dimension is shown

You dont need to work on the query is what I am saying. Just do it on the front end part.
