scroller Visual

Hi,

 

I found a similar question but dont think it addressed the problem, or maybe i misunderstood it.

 

I am trying to use the scroller visual and it is great visual. The thing I cant figure out here is that I am trying to only show text which is as a news/progress on the scroller visual.  But in order to get the visual to work we need to add two fields which are Category and Measure Absolute or Measure Deviation. 

 

So in the Category field I add the text and in the Measure field I dont have anything since i only want the text which shows in the category field. So I add the same text field in the Measure Absolute/Deviation. So thats where after the text runs through the scroller it shows number '1' as a count. But I dont want that to show, is there a work around to keep it as blank or not show that 1 count??

 

 

I would really appericate any help or suggestions I can get!

  • Hey,

     

    wondering what happens if you would create a blank measure like so:

    blank measure = BLANK()

    And then just simple use this measure.

      Hey,

       

      That did sound like that it might work but when i tried using the blank measure - it just wont load any visual.

        Hey,

         

        just checked - this will work, create a measure that is an empty string like so:

        empty string  = ""

        Do you might explain, what's your use case for using the Scroller custom visual  w/o a measure?

    Is there a way to prevent the scroller from resetting everytime a different visual is clicked on? I have already disabled the interactions for the scroller; I want it to run a continuous loop.
