Hello,
Is it possible to have component value conditioned by selections from a button dropdown?
Ex: Button Dropdown (Country) options: Portugal / Spain / German
  • If Portugal selected -> VBAP.BUS_UNIT_TEXT IN (FA, PA)
  • If Spain selected -> VBAP.BUS_UNIT_TEXT IN (DI, MC)
  • If German selected -> VBAP.BUS_UNIT_TEXT IN (SI, CP)
    Multiple selection possilbe.

Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Joo Bu
Hi Joo,
Many thanks for contacting us. It is possible to display the dimensions by selecting from a button dropdown. Assuming that the component is an OLAP table you can proceed with the following:
  1. Create two variables, example country_title and contry_val
    Select Variables -> Create New variable -> input the name and variable type as text_replacement -> save

Repeat for country_val
  1. Once the variables are created, add the button dropdown component. Select a name according to the country, button action = set variable.
  2. We select the variable contry_val and insert value the corresponding table. Example:

    image388730 18.3 KB


    Then we add the country_title by selecting Add another variable"

    image397600 16.3 KB

  3. We repeat the same steps for Spain and Germany
  4. Finally, we create an OLAP table. With the dimension name as <%=Country_Title%> and the editor <%= Country_val %>

I hope this helps,
Best,
Viana

Hello v.kalversberg,

I understand your presented solution, but by changing the button from Load Bookmark to Set Variable we lost the filter selection that is normally presented on the top bar and it will not be possible to select multiple values.

The goal is to present a value on simple Text Component, based on the multiple selections or not, done on the Country button.

Thanks,

Joo Bu
