keep the selected value of a listbox in a variable

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Is it possible to keep the selected value of a field of a listbox in a variable (document variable, SET v_periodo = ....)?

I suppose is selected only one item in the listbox

Thanks

use =GetFieldSelections(field) function

[qlikmsg4u]

Use GetFieldSelections function

Create a variable like this

Let vVar1 = =GetFieldSelections(Your Field)

[jonathandienst]

That will return null - the statement should be

Set vVar1 = =GetFieldSelections(Your Field);

or

Let vVar1 = '=GetFieldSelections(Your Field)';

My bad thanks for pointing,

I just wrote down with out thinking much

There are a number of solutions to this problem. Their effectiveness depends on the situation and on what you plan to do with them. See this picture. Every script variable should be set to the text of an expression, preceded by an equal sign. By preference, use the SET statement.

The first example allows you to define separators yourself (plus, minus, whatever). The fourth example is very useful when you want to set the variable to another value associated with the current selection in your listbox (using set analysis).
