Set Analysis And confusing Current Selection Box

Hi all

I now have my graphs working beautifully - using Set Analysis they do not change when a particular dimension is set.

However ... the Current Selection Box is confusing because it will show the selections that have been made in other screens.  What is the best way of doing this to "grey" out the selections that have no effect?

IMHO the best thing you can do is to notify the user of set analysis "forced" selections.

What I propose to my customers is to specify fixed set analysis filters in the caption of every chart where set analysis has been applied. In your example, this would result in a caption "Graph XYZ (CLiNICAL classification only)"

That is a good idea ...

and that leads me to another visualisation question:  I have the charts in a container and the container then shows the caption on the chart - but ... maybe I  could keep the container caption and change the chart caption ... YES!!!!!  I can do that.

Thank you Peter

Well, it stems from the simple (and economical) truth that you/we should let QlikView do what it does best: propagate selections to the far corners of a (often complex and bulky) data model and produce results "as if by magic". Whatever we try to twist and turn this streamlined mechanism into something else will sooner or later turn against us. I may oversimplify the reasoning behind this at the moment (being 3:30 at night overhere), but I think you get the idea.
