In that case , if u don't want to see initial values then use multi box , it provides you as drill down view.if u click on the down arrow drop down will come and u can make selections as u want.

i hop this  might helps you.

Hi,

See sample app attached using input box to search and press enter to filter list box

Create Variable in script

Let vSearchString = '';

Then reload to create the variable

Create an inputbox and add the variable vSearchString

Create a listbox with your field you want to search

Listbox properties> General> Field > drop down and select expression right at the bottom

enter the expression:

=if(WildMatch(YourField,'*$(vSearchString)*'),YourField)

Under General> Title > enter:

=if(count(if(wildmatch(YourField,'*$(vSearchString)*'),YourField))=0,'No Product found!','Search Results:')

Layout> Show> Check Conditional & enter the below expression in the inputbox

=len(vSearchString) <> 0

You should be able to search a string, hit enter and filter the listbox.

* The listbox will only be visible when the input box is not empty...

That's OK. but my requirement is same like search string from field through input box

If i type any value an input box, it would be reflect in pivot table.

Here, I want search string expression for values

Settings -> Document Properties -> Triggers -> Variable Event Triggers -> EnterCategory -> OnInput -> Edit Actions(s) -> Search String:

I don't think QlikView offers a feature like that (doing calculations while you type dimension values, sort of Google-like).

Me thinks that a feature like that can be very expensive with respect to CPU utilization when using it on large data sets. That would result in the opposite effect for your end-users: making the document slow and lagging = annoying to use.
