Dear Qlik Community,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way of ascertaining which chart type is currently selected via script / functions in the background colour expression/script window.
i.e. I have a line chart that allows quick change to be a table to view the data behind it. The colour of the lines are set by using an rgb() value in the background colour section under each of the expressions of the chart....each of the lines now has a lovely dark bold colour and are easy to read, however when switching to table view, the dark colour is then the background colour to the columns of data... which makes it harder to read.
One would want the table to have white background and dark text and the line chart to remain having the nice bold colours.
A solution already suggested to me is to have 2x expressions for every one & hide the version with bold colour from table and hide the white background colour from the line charts..... the downside clearly being it doubles the maintenance if any of the expressions have to change in future / it may be confusing to developers looking at the setup in future.
Thus is there a way of doing something like the following?:
IF(ChartTypeSelected = "LineChart", rgb(105,16,173), rgb(255,255,255))
or the reverse:
IF(ChartTypeSelected = "Table", rgb(255,255,255), rgb(105,16,173))
Kind Regards, Mike
