Text Entry Methodology

[#1]

Hello,

What is the best way to handle text entry in QlikView.  I want to have a user enter in feedback into a text field, like an edit box.  Right now I cannot seem to find a successful method, any suggestions?

Here is an example of the type of form I would like to include:

Thanks,

Hi, if you simply want a single field then you could just create add the sheet object input box and link it to a variable, if you want multiple imput fields then you could create an imput field in your script, by adding :

inputfield yourfieldnamehere;

then add load this field on your table using:

load *,  '' as  yourfieldnamehere

... the rest of your script

the the user can then add in values in tables for the field yourfieldnamehere.

Thanks

You could also try INPUTBOX in macro code. Unfortunately this pops up a separate dialog box for data entry, but it does work for some applications.
