  Property Controls are very useful for allowing consumers to affect values in an analysis file, like what to display on a given axis, but they do not work directly with marking or filtering. However, it is possible to hook property controls up to affect... Posted Apr 24 2010, 07:14 AM by Tip of the Week Filed under: Properties, Custom Expression, Calculated Columns, 3.1, Script Controls

• Using the Repeat Expression Function to Create Horizontal Bars

  We do not have a visualization which allows horizontal bars, however, you can create an expression which would create a pseudo horizontal bar in a Table based plot. This is possible using the Repeat function available in TIBCO Spotfire version 3.1 for...

• Expressions are not just for the X and Y axis

  You may already be aware that you can configure the X and Y axis to use a predefined expression, rather than the raw data values from a column. This expression can perform complex aggregations, calculations between one column and other columns in the...

• Using the Intersect method in a Custom Expression

  Many people are aware of the use of OVER in a custom expression, however one issue that comes up in almost every training is when a user has created an expression using OVER on either the x or y axis the results are not what they expected. Typically this... Posted Oct 10 2009, 09:21 PM by Tip of the Week Filed under: OVER, Intersect, Custom Expression

• Using Global Variables inside Spotfire
