How to manage three different rules in the same layout

Hi, I'm in the situation described by the title.

The rules are based on the same entity, but I want to use them in the same layout due to the type of calculation the user selects. Have you got any tips?

    HI Stefano,

    Thanks for your question. How is the user selecting the type of calculation?

    Regards,

    Hamza

    Hi @Hamza Mesbahi via "pager" in the input screen and with the "go-to screen" the calculation (another screen) inherits the selection

    Ah ok, thanks for clarifying, @Stefano Arcangeli. So to reiterate, what you're trying to do is show the same cube but with a different rule applied based on the calculation that the user selects, and each of these calculations is shown on a different screen? Just want to make sure I correctly understand the requirement to give you the best-suited advice.

    Hi @Hamza Mesbahi "So to reiterate, what you're trying to do is show the same cube but with a different rule applied based on the calculation that the user selects," =YES but each of these calculations is shown on the same dataview and the same screen

    Hi @Stefano Arcangeli, I'm having a little bit of a hard time envisioning how this process works, but from my standpoint, would you not be able to have a text algorithm that dynamically checks what the currently selected calculation is (using the "@calculation entity" reference), and then another algorithm with if statements to check what that value is, and either show cube a (your cube with rule 1 applied), cube b (with calculation rule 2 applied), or cube c (with calculation rule 3 applied)? Basically, can this be resolved by implementing a process in the layout to show a different cube/rule combination depending on the currently selected calculation type

    Hi @Hamza Mesbahi I found a solution with the Expander item. With if statements for visibility I manage the situation. Thanks a lot for your support 🙂
