Block Charts
In block charts individual blocks can be selected. With selections the drilldown functionality comes into
play. Selecting the first block refers to the first dimension, selecting a second block within the first refers to
the second dimension etc.
It is also possible to select several blocks by painting an area. This selected area is marked green until the
mouse button is released. Such a selection refers back to the value or values of the first dimension. Based on
these values the corresponding blocks are calculated. If a selection crosses the block borders of several
values that belong to the first dimension, it will affect all related values belonging to the second and third
dimensions as well, not only those in the selected area.
Gauge charts
Selections cannot be made in gauge charts.
Straight Tables
Selections can be made in the dimension columns by clicking on a cell or painting over several cells. The
selected area is marked green until the mouse button is released.
If Drop-down Select is activated in a column that represents a dimension, a small arrow will be displayed in
the column header. Clicking on the arrow will display a list of all values of the field. Selections and searches
can be made in this list.
Selections can be made in the expression columns by clicking in a single cell. The selection will be made
for the dimension values used to calculate the selected expression cell.
Pivot Tables
Selections can be made in the dimension columns/rows by clicking on a single cell. The selected cell is
marked green until the mouse button is released.
If Drop-down Select is activated in a column that represents a dimension, a small arrow will be displayed in
the column header. Clicking on the arrow will display a list of all values of the field. Selections and searches
can be made in this list.
Selections can be made in the expression columns/rows by clicking in a single cell. The selection will be

14.10 Search
Selections can be made through text search as well. To enter a search string, click on the list box header,
then simply type the search string. The string is not case sensitive. The search string will appear in the popup
search box. As a result, QlikView will display all the values of the selected field that fulfill the criteria of
the search string. When pressing ENTER, or clicking on one of the cells in the result, the value(s) become(s)
selected. By keeping the CTRL key depressed while pressing ENTER the selections from the text search will
be added to previous selections.
The search box will close automatically when ENTER or ESC is hit or clicking in the layout. It is also possible
to close it by clicking the icon in the search box. The search box is sizable and will retain its size
when it is opened again.
If several list boxes are active (SHIFT-click on their headers to make them active), they are all included in
the text search. Pressing ENTER to select the resulting values is however not possible until there are
optional values in only one of the active list boxes. If a selection has already been made, there are two ways
in which a search can be interpreted: either searching only among the optional values, or searching among
all values, i.e. include the excluded values in the search. To set the search mode to work in, it is possible to
