Show field>How do i allow the listbox for a field to show selections?

Hi,

Please refer to the attached screenshot. How do I get my "Customer" listbox to show selections? The listboxes for my "Division Name" and "Region Name" fields show selections.

So I was wondering whether the "Customer" listbox has too many possible values/selections, therefore there is no way for Qlikview to list all "Customer" selections in the "Customer" listbox?

I think the order your tabs in the script were off... since you are doing Where Exsits([Customer Number]) when you load your Customers table... you need to bring the Customer Number field from SalesData before you bring Customer table. Because if you don't, then Customer Number is not a field and Customer table will be completely blank.

I moved SalesData to load before Customer now

And see how Customer list box is now all populated

Share some sample data or App. If the field customer has relative data then it is a normal qlikview behavior to show all the possible values

Hi techvarun,

Please refer to the "Customer" column in the file "M2_Customers.xls"

This is how the "Customer" listbox should look like, but I can't seem to get to this stage.

I was wondering whether there is a setting in 'Properties' or in the 'Script' that I have to update.

Are you using an expression to display customers? or is it straight field that you use?

Hi stalwar1,

I am using a straight field from the "Customer" column in the spreadsheet.

The script is as follows:

Customers:

LOAD [Address Number],

     [Business Family],

     [Business Unit],

     Customer,

     [Customer Number],

     [Customer Type],

     Division,

     [Line of Business],

     [Phone],

     [Region Code],

     [Regional Sales Mgr],

     [Search Type]

FROM

M2_Customers.xls

(biff, embedded labels, table is CUSTOMERS$) Where exists ([Customer Number]);

Straight table? Can you try to uncheck 'Suppress Zero Values' on the presentation tab and see if that works?

Hi Sunny,

I can't seem to find the 'Suppress Zero Values' option.

And when I looked at my dataset, there are no zero values in both [Customer] and [Customer Number].

Hi Sunny,

Sorry for mixing up list box and straight table. Mm maybe I can upload my Qlikview file and the data set I am using for my training to let you have a look?
