Hi Madesh

At the moment, there is not multi select option for combo boxes.

There is a multiselect option for combo boxes in the format settings. Sergey is right and I'm wrong.

As a work around, we are using grid objects or tree objects.

You can embed them in the main dashboard or use them with a dialog (dashboard). The dialog can be launched with a button and pass back a parameter. Both solutions will return a comma separated list of member names.

The grid object can do it very straight forward, because of the multi select feature mentioned by Sergey. For the tree view, you need to code a business rule that implements an multi select data adapter.

I hope this helps and regards

Hi Madesh,

In the Display Format parameters, there is a "is multiselect" option that you might use in case you need to activate multi select in combo box :

        Sorry for offering a complicated (and wrong) answer to this question. The solution is much simpler, there is a multi select option for combo boxes in the format settings (list box has it as well):

        IsMultiSelect=True

          Hi Christian,

          Thank you for the solution above.

          How would you connect the parameter in a Cube View, when the Multi-Select combo box is being used?

          Context: I am looking to implement a multi-select combo box dropdown to select multiple entities and get an aggregated value in the Cube view.

          Thank you in advance.

          Hi Hamza, E#root.list(|!parameter!|) should do the job. Cheers

          Is there a way to add a select All option, one that will mark all items when active and deselect all items when deactivated?

          The drop down box takes the last parameter value(s) as starting point. You can delete the parameter or set it with all values, using a button.
