Selected value of Dismension Filter in a textbox

[erikhop]

Hi everyone,

I have a requirement that says to display a selected value of dimension filter in a textbox. For example when there are more teams in the dimension filter, for now Team A, Team B and Team C. And if you selected Team A and C and apply i will display the selected value in a textbox.

How can this be done?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Enrico

Hi Enrico,

You would have applied the filter by Dimension filter on a data source(Let DS_1), So you can use the getFilterExt() or getFilterText() on data source and assign the value to the text box.

Using this code

TEXT_1.setText(DS_1.getFilterExt("Dimension"));

Thanks,
