I have a huge question for Tibco Spotfire. How can I show in a Text Area the filters and the values I'm selecting, from List Box Filters precisly? Thank you

so far when I want to choose columns which I want to show in the graph, I have to click on the pivot table and then choose columns fom pivot fields. Is there a faster way to do that? I would like to add some nice looking list under the graph from which I could choose columns to show.
You don't need to use the PivotTable, you can add columns directly to the PivotChart using the same interface as for PivotTables. Right click on the PivotChart and select "Show Field List" as the bottom. The control pane will appear on the right.
Building a custom user interface below the PivotChart would require a significant amount of VBA and would not perform as well.
I have programmatically created a pivot table (and pivot chart). On some users local machines, the Field List window (where you drag various fields into the four areas) can be too wide. Is it possible, with VBA, to control the width of the field list? TIA
I have intermediate excel skills and am relatively new to pivot charts and slicers. I have made a pivot chart out of production-related data. Next to the chart is a slicer that displays all the different products in production. Basically, whenever the user clicks on one of the products in the slicer, it displays a bar graph mixed with a line graph. If the bars are exceeding the line, then the product is considered "critical" (it is exceeding production capacity). I want to use conditional formatting (or another method, preferably not a macro) to highlight the products on the slicer in red that are critical.
Thanks in advance for your help.
You can't conditionally format Slicer Items. Instead, your best bet is to use a second PivotTable that only shows the critical products in it.
Is there a way I can use calendar filter in Spotfire? I am aware of the range filter, but I want the user to only be able to select one date from a range of dates coming from a table.
it's a little bit advanced and requires some scripting (although code is provided), but a date picker can be used:

the result is something like this:
I know this is two years old but I still came across this post and I figured someone else will too.
To get the calendar to filter follow these steps:
Edit the Text Area
Click "Insert Filter"
Click the column from your data that contains dates
Click "Ok"
Once you save, you will have a slider in the text box and two calendars where dates can be picked or you can utilize the slider.
The current version of Spotfire has a calendar date picker built into the filter and data panels (but it is part of the range slider).
You can also insert this filter into a text area if you want a more custom user interface. See below:

I have a chart that works and presents the data as I expect.
When I use Data Grouping of the data and collapse that data region it seems it's no longer available for the chart. Is this correct / is there a way around this (other than creating a summary data set manually?)
This is true when the chart is on the same tab or not.
The default setting on charts is to not include data from hidden columns and rows in the chart. To change this do the following:
Right-click the chart and click Select Data...
Click the button Hidden and Empty Cells
Check the box Show data in hidden rows and columns
