Show results (text) of webservice call in chart expressions?

Hi,

as we know it is possible to define an URL in an expression and represent the result as a picture, e.g. when I want to show webbased pictures in charts.

I was thinking about if it might be possible to define an expression where the result of a web call is shown as text... so e.g. I enter an url like 'http://server/webservice.aspx?param=xyz' and this webservice delivers just a little string like 'result' . so in the expression the value 'result' should be shown...

does someone know a way?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Martin

You could use a qlikview extension for this: www.qlikblog.at/2679/improved-webpageviewer-qlikview-extension/

Hi Gysbert,

thanks for the idea but i know this extension and it doesn't do what I need. I would need a result per line of a default qlikview chart table. An extension would be fine but only if it enables to show the results in a qlikview chart. 🙂

cheers,

Martin

Martin, would it be acceptable to load the data in the script?

Unfortunately not.... the data are not reloaded in a high enough frequency so I am looking for a way to fill charts using a webservice to get additional information from an external source.
