show expression according to variable (or field value)

[#1]

Hello

I have a graph and i need to show expression according to the choice of the user buttons and list are possibilities but is there another way to do that?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Try like this

Expression :

If(variableValue = 1, Expression1, If(variableValue = 2, Expression2, .............................))

or

Pick(variableValue, Expression1, Expression2, Expression3)

Label :  If(variableValue = 1, Caption1, If(variableValue = 2, Caption2, .............................))

If you are using Qlikview 11, you can show/hide an expression based on the condition

Chart Properties -> Expression -> Select Condition and Put your condition there in textbox

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Jagan.

Returns the name of the currently active field in a group.

Example

getcurrentfield( myGroup )

getfieldselections ( FieldName [, ValueSep
[, MaxValues]])

Returns a string with the current selections in a field.

ValueSep is the separator to be put between field
values. The default is ', '.

Maxvalues is the maximum number of field values to
be individually listed. When a larger number of values is selected the format 'x
of y values' will be used instead. The default is 6.

Examples

getfieldselections ( Year )

getfieldselections ( Year, '; ' )

getfieldselections ( Year, '; ' , 10 )

getcurrentselections ([RecordSep [, TagSep [,ValueSep [, MaxValues]]]])

Returns a string with the current selections in the document.

RecordSep is the separator to be put between field
records. The default is <CR><LF>.

TagSep is the separator to be put between the field
name tag and the field values. The default is ': '.

ValueSep is the separator to be put between field
values. The default is ', '.

Maxvalues is the maximum number of field values to

You can define a variable

say vVar=1(this will become 1 only when button is pressed)

In expression tick enable and give a condition for a particular expression that

if(vVar=1,your expression);

[sushil353]

hi,

You can hide your expression conditionally according to the action of your button.

In the expression tab write your condition in conditional box.
