How to check if a characteristic has been selected in a crosstab

[former_member189161]

Hi all,

I have a crosstab enabled for selection. 'On Select' I want to check if a characteristic has been selected.

I tried:

var A01 = CROSSTAB_1.getSelectedMember("0PROFIT_CTR");

if ( A01 != '' ) {TEXT_1.setVisible(true); }

This however is not allowed because the arguments are not the same. A01 is a member, and ''' is a string.

I found a work-around using a dummy DS:

DS_2.setFilter("0PROFIT_CTR", CROSSTAB_1.getSelectedMember("0PROFIT_CTR"));

var A01 = DS_2.getFilterText("0PROFIT_CTR");

In this way A01 is a string as well and I can do the check.

Is there an easier way to achieve this?

Thanks end best regards,

Arwold

Hi Arwold,

Add .text to the getselectedmember command, and it will be interpreted as a text field.

example:

var test = TEXT_1.getText();

if(test != CROSSTAB_1.getSelectedMember("0GL_ACCOUNT").text){

}

Kind regards,
