Can you be more specific with your question.

• Where do you want the pop-up text to show - in a chart, on its own?
• What activates the pop-up?

Alert is one option.

hi,

try:

Define Your Pop-Ups

or

On an object like a Chart you can, on the Caption tab, bottom right, enter Help Text.  This puts a ? on the Caption and one can hover over it to see the Help Text.

add macros by clicking ctrl+M

then add this script

Sub simpleMsgBoxVariableText ()

  msgText = "enter message watever you want ."

  Msgbox "Hello " & msgText

End Sub

click ok

then rightclick on tab->sheet properties ->Triggers->onactivate sheet->add action ->external->run macro->Macro name (simpleMsgBoxVariableText )

Could you explain here?

This does not need a macro.

You use an expression in the Conditional Show option on the text box properties, Layout tab.

Use the Conditional Show expression.

        If( GetFieldSelections(YourFieldName) >0, 0, 1)

This will hide the text if nothing is selected in YourFieldName.

I suggest you read this post explaining why you should avoid the use of macros in QlikView.Macros are Bad
