Is it possible to show the selected member of the expression group?

Hi - is it possible to show the selected member of the expression group like it is possible to show the selected member of the cycle group?

For example, I would like to show which expression is selected (marked in red) and modify the caption accordingly. Just as I was able to do it for the cycle group (marked in blue).

Not applicable

so you have multiple expression and enabling one expression at a time with some condition Correct ??

if yes, you can use same if condition in caption

like if (Col1=2,yourexpression or expression name ) whatever you want to show

Thanks

That's not possible with expression groups since there's now way to retrieve the active expression from an expression group. I prefer to use conditional display expressions for expressions in combination with a small table with the labels for the expressions in which to select the expressions to show in the chart. See this blog post for an explanation and example : Customizable Straight Table

Ah, so easy. As Jonathan suggested in that post activate the Title in Chart option

Thank you Gysbert. Yes, I see. This is more of a strategic decision on how to present data and building a QV app to look like an OLAP ad-hoc tools.

Yes, I've been thinking about it but couldn't find the time to think it through. Qlik Sense is here for that
