Sheet Navigation & Action Buttons

[#1]

Hello Everyone -

I'm having issues with the Sheer Navigation & Action Buttons in Qlik Sense.

I have two buttons.

I have two variables that identify the job -

vSalesConsultant

vSalesManager

I want them to act as a filter so when a person clicks on one of the two positions they only see the data related to those positions.

In the settings for the button -

I do the drop down for ACTIONS

and my 'First Action' I selected "Set Variable Value" and under "Value" I did the following... =$(vSalesManager)

When I go to click on my button - it does nothing. Please help! Thanks!

Still looking for help. Please advise or share thoughts.

HI Lauren,

Did you ever find a solution? Did you try putting single quotes around the variable? i.e. ='$(vSalesManager)'

Kind Regards,

John

I think you may be misunderstanding the usage of that extension. In the set variable value option:

Variable name: should be the name of the variable whose value you want to set - vSalesManager - This variable must already exist, so you need to create the variable in the load or manually in the variable view:

Value: a literal value or an expression that will be evaluated to return a value, for example:

• 1 - returns the string and numeric value '1'
• Sum(value) - returns the string 'Sum(value)'
• =Max(Date) - returns the date result of evaluating Max(Date)
