GetFieldSelections for versions below SR8

Hi all,

Our QlikView server won't be upgraded for a while (I don't have control over it), and it's below SR8, so Rob's solution with alternate state getfieldselections() doesn't work (the last post):

Alternate states and Trigger together

Is there an alternative to this for SR7 and below?

My end goal is to get the correct field selection from State A and State B into charts, i.e.

  

Client(State A Selection) Volume(State B Selection) Volume
A515345
B32534
C235436

You can get the possible values using concat(distinct {State}...). Afraid there is no alternative to get the selected values prior to SR8

The only problem with this is that GetFieldSelection caught values only when something or all is selected, whereas Concat will pick the values without selections also unless you have a if statement to restrict it. It kinds of get complicated to perform workaround (for a lack of a better word) GetFieldSelection with Concat function.

Best,

Sunny

Thanks..what if I wanted to show different possible selections in the column, e.g.

concat(distinct {StateA} Week) works. But if the end user chooses month instead, can I display the month instead?
