conditional expression

Hi all, 

I have a straight table with multiple expressions from which each should be visible as soon as the users selects a certain field from a search object / list box. The user may take multiple selections  to show multiple expressions in one chart.

To achieve this I use the following condition: index(GetFieldSelections(Dimension),'Fieldname') > 0

However, if the user clicks a fieldname that includes a word that is simultaneously the fieldname of another expression both expressions get visible although one fieldname has been selected. 

 

Example: 

User's field selection: sales after cancellation

Expression 1 has the condition: index(GetFieldSelections(Dimension),'sales') > 0

Expression 2 has the condition: index(GetFieldSelections(Dimension),'sales after cancellation') > 0

Both expressions are visible. 

Expected outcome: Only expression 2 should be visible. 

 

Renaming of fieldnames is no option. Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?

To avoid such issues, you could use special characters in concatenation like:

 

 index('@'&GetFieldSelections(Dimension, '@')&'@','@sales@')

 

 index('@'&GetFieldSelections(Dimension, '@')&'@','@sales after cancellation@')
