So I have this screen and I would like to make it so the user can choose the amount of each selected item. I would also like for the KPI to show 0 if nothing is selected. Any ideas?
I'll try Measure like this:
IF(GetSelectedCount(ProductName)>0,SUM(ListPrice), 0)
The amount of item can be set using input boxes. Problem is input box is per variable so you would have to define input boxes for each product and then make long list... even for that you need input box extension from Qlik Branch. In Qlikview there is functionality to add inputSum function in table which could be perfect in your case but is not implemented in QLikSense. If it is really necessary you can create own extension in Qliksense with html table of all products and form which is updating variables.

Is there a way to display different sheets by clicking/selecting values/options from one particular filter?
for example, if I have this filter:
and I need to display a sheet named Departments when I select Commercial from the filter shown in the PtrScn.
However, When I click/select any other options like HR, Information ...etc, I want it to display the associated sheet with the filter "Filter by Sector"
Any hints would be highly appreciated!
NOTE: I use tableau 2019.1 and it does not show "Change Parameter" that might be needed to approach this as I noticed when I have been researching for two days now!
You should use a container (say vertical) where you wanna put your N worksheets one on top of the other one without changing vertical spacing: just let Tableau do its stuff!
Be sure to remove the worksheet titles.
Once you're done, you need to create a parameter in order to handle all the N possible choices, and according to that you need to create N Calculated fields with a condition like this one:
if [Param] = 'Profit' then 'ok' else 'ko' end
Each calculated field will be used as a condition (select just ok values) in your filter selection.
Since the parameter can accept just one value a time, you will have just one of your N worksheet displaying data.
And this is the trick based on the vertical conatiner: if you hide worksheet titles, you will see "something" just for the selected worksheet and Tableau automatically will handle all the vertical space in the container.
The result will look like the following:
Adding to Fabio's great answer, these resources about collapsing containers may be useful:

I am creating a capacity dashboard that has a granular aspect with multiple rows on the axis. The purpose is so that the user can see the specific view as the fields get more specific, such as Region to Market to Territory. My main problem is if there is a way for a user on Tableau Server to be able to edit the axis (maybe through a filter) so they could basically scale back the granularity a little bit. I know that in Tableau Desktop, you can just remove the dimensions, but I am hoping there is away to do that as a user in Server. Here are some pictures of my
workbook for examples:
You can see that when Territory is removed, it get less specific and shows all of Canada as a whole, grouped together. I am hoping there is a filter view or some way a user could change this dynamically. I have created a parameter with strings that matches the row dimensions that maybe when selected, will show up to that row, but I am not sure how to link that into the dashboard. Here is a picture of that:
Thank you for any help!
The best way to do this is to create a Parameter with your three Axis choices. It should look like this:
Next, create a calculated field that only references the Parameter like this:
Next, you will create three separate sheets. On each one, add the Axis Filter to the Filters Shelf. One each separate page, select one of the three values in your Parameter. (Tip - if the value doesn't show up you can either change the parameter or type it in manually under "Custom value list".)
What this does is create a filter whereby only ONE of the sheets will show up at any time. Meaning if you want to work on the Market sheet select the Market value in the Parameter.
Finally, to bring it all together, you will put these on a dashboard. Create a new Dashboard and add a Horizontal (or Vertical, it doesn't matter) Object (aka layout container) onto the dashboard. Put all three Sheets inside the layout container. You will see only one will be displayed but all three will have headers. On each sheet, click on the header and check "Hide Title" like this:
Finally, click on any downward triangle and show the parameter:
Now, by changing the parameter your user is selecting from three different sheets... effectively letting them change the Axis.

I am trying to display a list of open indents with check boxes before them each line. Based on the selection a report will be generated next with further details.
Table: xxind_mstr (xxind_nbr, xxind_shipto, xxind_askedby, xxind_date).
Is there any way that I can bring the records from xxind_mstr and place them in the FORM with check boxes ?
Note: This only works if dynamic. Never hardcode this approach.
Name each check box with the value of ROWID(xxind_mstr).
This way on the post you can read back through the each xxind_mstr getting the value of the the rowid.

I'd like some more info, just to know if I'm not talking rubbish here. You want to display the records in xxind_mstr as checkboxes, then upon selection of the report setup, fire the report respecting the checkboxes flagged? If so, then I'd use a browse pre-built with a temp-table containing the xxind_mstr records, and a "flagged" field, this being a logical view-as checkbox, and when they run the report, do a
FOR EACH ttxxind_mstr WHERE flagged = true, and you should have what you want.
I have a combo box which is of a lookup type, i.e., I've selected the source to be a column from a table and am storing the selected value in another table. The table which I am looking up has another column and I need the value in this column to be displayed in a text box and each time I change the value in the combo box, I need the corresponding value to be displayed in the text box. How can I do this? What I have done so far is to write a Select query that selects the appropriate column based on the combo box's value. Is there a more decent way of doing this? Please help me!
Make the source of the combo box to your 2 fields e.g. SELECT id, name FROM Customers
Make sure you set the Column Count property of the combo to 2, accordingly.
Then make you unbound text box source equal to =MyCombo.Column(1) (from memory, this Column is zero based).
That's it, zero code required.
It's nicer to use an event of the combo box e.g. onChange, so when a selection is made the event sets the value of the text box.
me!txtTextBox1 = me!cboComboBox1.column(1)
That way it will work everytime.
You could also use a button with onClick etc. but the choice is yours (and as mentioned in the previous post, alter the column number based on its row source with 0 being the first.
After reading the question and answers I tried the following, and it seems to work well (so far):
In order to display more than one column of a combobox selection, I have resorted to the following:
Place a textbox over the combobox,
Size it by sampling other fields, so that it covers the text frame of the combobox.
I have purposely have left a small space to the right of the NEW textbox to indicate that it
Is NOT part of the combobox.
In the Control Source for the textbox enter the expression below:
=[DefaultAcct].[Column](1) & " " & [DefaultAcct].[Column](2)
Then, in the ‘onchange’ event of the combobox, set focus to the textbox.
Private Sub DefaultAcct_Change()
txtConcatenate1.SetFocus
End Sub
I am already using Filemaker Pro 10, I have two questions:
I have a text field in a portal, and whenever I am entering values like "B12C45" in it, it works well, but when the string is longer like "BC12F42, B45z87" it doesn't show whole the strings and omits the letters from it. what Can I do?
My second question is that: I have a portal in a layout, in this portal every row has an id sometimes the id is repeated in other rows but the value of another field called Position is changing. Now I want to have those rows of this portal which have the same id in another layout. I have tried using scripts for it, but scripts don't work well in this case, and they are entering whole the portal in the new layout not the parts I want . How can I write a script which does this?
I will really appreciate any help.
For the first question there are many ways you could display more data in a field and the best one will depend on the particular implementation in your database. There are three main ways to solve this problem: field-size adjustments, text-size adjustments and programming adjustments to dynamically change the text-size.
Field-size adjustments include:
Making the field longer
Using the autosizing aspect of a field so that as the window grows, so does the field
Text-size adjustments include:
Making the font size for that field smaller.
Setting the font style for that field to condensed.
Programatically, though, three things stand out to me as possibilities. I like the third one the best for most of my solutions:
Set the tooltip for the field to "Self" (without the quotes). A user can see the entire contents of the field by hovering the mouse over the field.
In "Define Database" set the field's calculated value to: "TextStyleAdd(self;Condense)" (without the quotes) and make certain that "Do not replace existing value of field" is turned off
Use Conditional formatting to add the Condense style or use a smaller font when the number of the characters in the field gets long.
The steps for using conditional formatting are as follows:
In layout mode select the field and select 'Conditional Formatting...' from the pop-up menu
Add a new condition
Change the condition to 'Formula is'
In the text field enter "Length(Self) > 8" (without the quotes)
Press the "More Formatting..." button
Select "Condense" as the Style from the text
You can add multiple conditions, so you might have "Condense" only for Length(Self) > 8 and another condition for Length(Self) > 16 where you set both "Condense" and reduce the Font Size.
As for your second question, I'm not able to get a picture of what you're trying to do from the question you asked. You might be able do the following in a script:
Go to Related Record [the portal relationship]
Sort Records [by ID]
And then use a summary field (Count of ID) to determine how many of each ID you have.
If you clarified what you were trying to do, gave more information about your tables and table occurrences, we might be able to provide a better answer for this instance.
