Remove "set by style" in object font properties - Qlik Community

blaise · ‎2011-04-11

How the hell do I remove the "set by style" in the objects font properties? I have searched reference manual as well as the forum for an answer. Custom Format cell is not an answer, i simply want to remove the "set by style" so I can change font color and font style (bold, italic etc) for the objects. Im going crazy over this, spend 1 hour trying to find the setting in object, document and user properties without any luck. Br Blaise

I don't know what the Set by Style actually means... but what are you trying to achieve?

Did you ever get an answer to this question? I am new to qlikview and struggling with the same problem (probably caused by my ignorance) but now I cannot find how to override the "set by style" limitation on the fonts! Very irritating!

I am having this problem as well. In an object properties, on the Font tab, I can not use any other option except "Set by Style". I would like to override this. Did any of you find a solution? Thanks.

Yep, that seems to do the trick (as a workaround).

Thanks!

I am having the same issue, can you explain your work around in more detail?

It's using a chart - straight table, and the font will not allow anything except "set by style".

Thanks for any help!

In the expression tab you have a list of all your expressions to the right, there is a + sign before each expression. Press this + sign to expand the possible settings.

type '<b>' in the text format for BOLD text, '<i>' for ITALIC, to give some examples.

In the text color you can use either built-in function like white() or rgb(). Refer to reference manual for a complete list of all available settings.

Awesome, thank you! Perfect explanation.

I actually found another post that mentioned going to the menu View - Design Grid, then right clicking any cell and making the format change to the individual cell or applying to the dimension. This also worked.
