Showing data in alternate states

[EGilbert]

I have a sheet with 4 charts, each in their own alternate state, and 2 list boxes in the default state.  I would like the charts to not show any data unless a selection is made in each of the list boxes.  I can do this with no problems if all items are in the same state using the GetSelectedCount() syntax but I cannot figure out how to use the conditional show between states

Hi @EGilbert ,

I'm not sure I completely understood your question.

However, the GetSelectedCount function has a parameter that takes the state name. If you want it to take into account the default state, I'm not sure if you should use <default state> as the parameter (never used it for that, to be honest).

GetSelectedCount - chart function

Hope it helps 😉

Did the post from our partner help you get things working for this use case?  If so, do not forget to return to the thread and on that post, use the Accept as Solution button to mark that as the solution, this will give the partner credit for the assistance and let other Members know this worked.  

I did want to provide the QlikView Help link, as the partner did provide a link to Qlik Sense area, and I thought that may have thrown you, but QlikView is pretty much the same...

Thanks for the reply.  I was able to find some syntax ($::) which forces use of the list boxes in default state.
