Influence network

[#1]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is an extension to display and represent in Qlikview an inflluence network? I have the relations between my customers, and I'd like to find a way to display it graphically. Something like the chart below

Thanks in advance

Hi Laura,

I started to work with graph data from Neo4j: http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-3115

For visualisation I used Google chart API as you can see in the example application. I also work on an extension for graph display using d3.js and/or raphael lib, but still have some issues.

How have you build the graph chart above? Can you also post some data?

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for your answer. I took the graph above from Google I just wanted to show what I am looking for. I will have a look to Neo4j, but I am afraid I will not get what I want.

Best Regards

Hi Laura,

   If you think about relationships among customers could be like among products, I think you could consider these two approaches: an Associated Curve chart or a Parallel Coordinates chart.

   The Associated Curve chart in this example from QV Design (http://qvdesign.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/informative-curvy-never-before-seen-by-me-at-least-the-asso...) shows relationships among products (sure it could be changed to customers), but the number of elements is fixed. I liked it very much, uses the color intensity to show the relation strength, the buttons (the circles) to select the product in the chart axis, and the associations are created in the script:

The other option is the Parallel Coordinates chart (an example here: http://qvdesign.wordpress.com/2012/01/31/brilliant-qlikview-parallel-co-ordinates-chart/). This option also uses a standard line chart, but the expressions used are complex. I think it would be possible if you could have a Source Customer and a Destination Customer fields:

Hope this helps,

Juan Gerardo

Hi Laura,

I just finished a graph visualization extension object:

Maybe you can use this in your case..

You've done an incredible job! Congratulations! I have downloaded and I will check how it meets my requirements.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Laura,

could you use my extension on your case? I would be interested to get to know more about your data source and how the influence is represented. Can you use a relations table which is the base of this graph visualization?
