Overlap Bars on a chart

[#1]

Hi I'm trying to force bars on a chart to overlap.  This requires the front bar to be thinner that theone behind.

This is what I have so far but can't get the bars to overlap fully.

This is what I was hoping for.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Hi,

You can go to the Chart Properties - Style tab and select subtype as Stacked.

Please find attachment.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I dont think that you can get to that chart style directly. It may be possible by overlaying the red bar chart on top of the blue one - but its tricky to get such overlapped objects to behave nicely when the user interacts with them.

Hope that helps

The closest thing I can think of is the bullet chart extension.

See this example document under the Bullet Chart tab:

This is a bullet chart extension thread with an extension available for download:

Hi Jonathan, I was trying overlapping two charts but it does get messy.

Johannes, the bullet chart looks an interesting concept and may help illustrate the results better than I was hoping.

How do I get the extention?

Thanks

Hi Rob, did you figure this one out?

I'm having the exact same problem. I've got one bar chart object overlapping another bar chart object, which works fine until you select a dimension with more than ~30 values, at which point the two charts stop lining up... seems a shame that such basic Excel functionality isn't present in Qlikview!

No I couldn't get it to work! may be something we suggest to Qlikview as one of their basic features.

Thanks

Hi,

On the propertys chart, you can use negatives numbers on the presentation tab (like -4, for example).

Tks,

I'll second that request!
