Multiple Selection

Does Xcelsius support multiple value selections? Do Xcelsius has Radio Button component? I am looking for the same Webi functionality in Input control which user can select multiple values from Radio Button, List Box etc.

if you have a large list, then you have to use the List Builder.
if you have a small list, then you can use individual checkboxes.

There are no good multiselect options.

annoyingly no, not out of the box. you have listbuilder (takes up a lot of space) or checkboxes (again not really what you want). There is a 3rd party multi select widget developed using the SDK that does what you expect, but I havn’t incorporated it into Xcelsius yet myself.

EDIT as pointed out this is now out of date

that widget code was written 3 years ago on a version of Flex that is no longer used.

on that note, has anybody used Visual Bi’s touted multi select combo and list boxes add on?

if so , what’s it like (and how much is it)

I’m in the midst of a trial with VisualBI’s CSV connector, and it seems to work as advertised.
