Dimensions & Expressions in Qlik Sense

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have created a dimension in Qlik Sense. The dimension is a set of 4 values from a valueList (ValueList('A', 'B', 'C')).

Is it possible to refer to this dimension from an expression so as to use it in a chart?

Thanks!

No. The calculated dimension you created is not a field in the data model. So you can't refer to it in expressions. You'll have to reuse the valuelist function in the expression too. The easy solution is to add a small table in the Data Load Editor:

MyList:

LOAD * INLINE [

MyField

A

B

C

];

Then after reloading the app you can use the new MyField field in expressions.
