I have a combobox that has a rather large recordset of flights sorted by date. Each time I want to add a new flight I have to scroll down 3-4 times to get to the current flights on the very bottom of the list (very cumbersome).
Ideally when I click the dropdown I only want to see current flights as opposed to seeing a list of all flights that have ever been entered. So I tried setting criteria of the combobox to only show current flights but now historical records just show up as blank.
Is there a way set the criteria of a combobox on dropdown to only show current flights then remove the criteria after the combobox is closed to ensure historical records are viewable?

Heading essentially explains the problem. We have an XFA form that we use for employee timecards. Every time you select the dropdown menu that has the list of dates it will duplicate everything inside the dropdown menu, for example:
Click on the dropdown once - Normal set of dates
Click on the dropdown for a second time - You now have two copies of every date
Click on the dropdown for a third time - You now have three copies of every date
*rinse & repeat
The dates are coded to affect a set of other cells that populate depending on which Pay period is selected.
Really not seeing any other examples of this happening, any ideas?
I can't find any way to remove repeated items in my combobox, consider that my items of my combobox exist in cells an actually I want my combobox showing all unrepeated items.my second question is: suppose I have three combobox and I'm free to choose any item of first one, first column in excel is my first combobox source which shows unrepeated cells information, I want my second combobox(which its items are all items in second column in my worksheet) to show items relatedly to combobox one in a way that it just shows items in second column which are appeared in front of first combobox selected item(which can be more than one cell). I will appreciate any help.
How would I go about making multiple selections in a QlikView straight table?
For example, how would I select the 1st and 5th rows at the same time?
There is a section about multiple selections in the QlikView 11 - Reference Manual :
14.5 Multiple Selection Within a Field
Multiple selections within a field (from one lisstrong textt box) can be made in a number of ways:
Position the cursor in the list box, then drag it over a number of field values while pressing the
mouse button.
Click the first field value to be selected, then CTRL-click each additional selection.
Click the top item to be selected, then SHIFT-click the bottom item to be selected. This way all the
items in between will be selected. However, if the sort mechanism is on, the first selection may cause
the order to change, which makes it difficult to make a correct second selection.
Confirm a text search (see below) by hitting the ENTER key. This will result in all matching field
values being selected. By keeping the CTRL key depressed while pressing ENTER the selections
from the text search will be added to previous selections.
To deselect a previously made additional selection, CTRL-click it.
If a multiple selection is made in one list box, and make a new selection from the available optional values
in another list box, some of the selected values in the first list box may get excluded. However, when the
selection in the second list box is canceled, the previous selections will, by default, be recovered.
A multiple selection can be interpreted in two different ways, either as a logical or or as a logical and.
Default is logical or, i.e. QlikView will find a solution that is associated to one or more of the selected field
values.
HTH
For straight tables, you can only select items next to each other. Ctrl-Select only works for listboxes
Basically, I have a combo box that I'm using to select a record. That combo box then populates several textbox's that are found on my form based on the ID. See the two images:
.
I'd like the combo box to show the first two columns in my query, which consists of 16 fields. The Abbreviation and the Name, to be exact. However, I found that if I hid the fields in the query or if I limited the column count of the combo box so it only displays the two, it actually culled the data so that the textbox's would not find it (thus be blank).
My question is, how can I just show the first two columns of the combo box yet still use it's ID to reference all sixteen?

Do not change the column count, change the column widths.
Column width: 0cm;2cm;1cm;0cm
And so on.
it should not be difficult to only select the relevant columns. You could post the Row Source property of your combo.
It seems to me that you should be binding you table to the data source TradeShows and using the wizard to create a combobox that finds record.
You can do this by selecting the table Tradeshows and choosing either create form or form. You will now have a form with the RecordSource property set to TradeShows. Next, choose to add a combobox to the form, ensuring that you have selected the wizard (the magic wand button is highlighted). You will be given the option to "Find a record on my form based on the value I select in my combobox". You can choose this and step through the wizard. When you get to the step where you choose fields, make sure you choose the TradeShowID first, and then the name and / or abbreviation. If TradeShowID is the primary key, as it should be, the column will be automatically hidden in the next step, which will show the fields selected.
The result of these actions will be a combobox with the following properties:
Row Source : SELECT [Tradeshows].[tradeShowID], [Tradeshows].[tradeShowName],
[Tradeshows].[tradeShowAppreviation] FROM [Tradeshows];
Bound Column : 1
Column Count : 3
Column Widths : 0cm;2.54cm;2.54cm
You will also have [Embedded Macro] in the After Update event (2010 and possible 2007) or [Event Procedure] for earlier versions. The wizard code is pretty poor, but that is another days work.
If you still wish to do all the work of setting each control to the (possibly changing) column order, you can follow a similar lay out for the combo, setting counts and widths appropriately.
I've got a form that returns multiple records from a table. Each of these records has a field indicating what the measurement was and the measurement's value. My form's record source pulls the appropriate ID's set of measurements and values, and then I want to write each of these measurements to different text boxes on the form.
The problem is that I'm also keeping track of the date this data was updated, and want to include only the data pulled based on the "date updated" selected at the top of the form.
When I go to pull the measurement value into a text box (with something like max(iif(Measurement="Acidity", [Value],[Null])) I get #Error all down my form. This had been working earlier today, and as I've been developing the form something changed and now it no longer works (everything but the date returned is saying #Error). I've set it to Requery when the form loads and whenever the date selected is changed.
EDIT:
This form is actually a subform of another main form. The main form has a control called MemberID which a user can use to select the Member they want information about. This is based on a query that pulls from a table the information related to that MemberID (one row per MemberID). When the form loads, the query behind the main form needs to be requeried to get the data for the selected MemberID.
Then there is this subform causing the problems. On this subform is a "Data Updated" drop down box, which lists the possible dates that the data was updated. When one chooses a particular "Data updated" in the drop down box, this chooses the latest data for all the data measures up to that date selected. This means the form's record source pulls about 10 records in my case.
Then, on this subform I try to layout these 10 records' values in different text boxes. So, in my acidity case above, I would say iif(Measurement="Acidity", [Value], Null). Because there are 10 rows returned, I will end up with 9 Nulls and 1 value, and to get that value I use the max function, so the text box's control source reads: max(iif(Measurement="Acidity",[Value],Null)).
The strange thing is this code was working this morning, until later this afternoon when I was filling in the remaining text boxes with similar code, and then it stopped working. I had also renamed the boxes from Text71 to more relevant names, but none of these are referenced in the code.
