button to toggle

Hi All,

I have below dataset. I want to filter data on Status field using a button.

Data:
LOAD * INLINE [
    No, Status, Dim, Amount
    1, Open, dim1, 456
    2, Completed, dim2, 43
    3, Open, dim3, 23
    4, Assigned, dim4, 762
];

I wanted to cleate a single button that act as toggle.
One first click it should show all values in status field(logically clearing selections on status field) and on next click on the same button it should EXCLUDE 'completed' status.

Please help!

Hi, Suraj!

Create a button and the variable, name variable for instance vButtonClick. In Action Tab of Button properties choose an action "set variable" in External block and make this condition for variable vButtonClick: =if(vButtonClick=1,0,1). Then make a second action which will do a selection in field (Selection - Select in Field):

=if(vButtonClick=1,'=wildmatch(Status,'&chr(39)&'*Completed*'&chr(39)&')=0',)

First click should clear all, and the second should select all except values with 'Completed' string.

Hope it helps!
