Use GetFieldsSelection in Aggregations

Hello,

I would like to achieve the following in QlikView:

I have a list box "Parameter" listing all fields by using $Field. If I select one element from Parameter I would like to get min(), max(),avg() for that field in a text box. I tried something like: =max($(=GetFieldSelections($Field))) . But that does not work.

I just want to replace the literal field name by the selected value. How can this be done?

Thank you

hi

try this

='min: '  & $(='min([' & $Field & '])') & chr(10) &

'max:' &  $(='max([' & $Field & '])')  & chr(10) &

  'avg:' &  $(='avg([' & $Field & '])')  & chr(10) &

   'median:' &  $(='median([' & $Field & '])')

This should work when you select a single field from the listbox $Field. However, if your field name has space in between, you might have to try like:

=Max($(='['&getfieldSelections($Field)&']'))

Hi,

So it should works if you create a variable V_selected_field

=GetFieldSelections([$Field])

Use this var in the text box with : =max($(V_seleted_field))

Just put this in a variable   Variable1=GetFieldSelections($Field)    and  use something like

max($(Variable1))

HI Tobias,

try below expression

=max({<$Field={$(=GetFieldSelections($Field))}>} $(vNew))


where vNew is a variable (vNew=getFieldSelections($(Field))

Unfortunately, that does not work for me. The result is empty.

This appears to work ... almost. If I apply the formula to avg() and max() the result is plausible.

However, for min () it is not. Is there a way to display all values that contribute?

I tried to make a table based on GetFieldSelections() but obviously I have not grabbed the mechanics of referencing right.

OK. I got it now. My Diagram does not show all values for some reason.

so =Max($(='['&getfieldSelections($Field)&']')) solved my problem.

Thank you very much.

Actually, I am still missing something. I get wrong values for min, max, avg.

What I did not mention before is that I have a second selection "ModelName" in a list box. Maybe this has an impact.

I have a line diagram and list box showing the selected values consistently if I select a ModelName and a Field.

But the aggregations do not reflect the values that I see in list box like a higher Max than any value in the selected list.

It appears that Max is also not global: If I deselect all ModelName then I get different values than when selecting one.

Do I have to explicitly filter for Model and how do I do it?
