Boxplots and Set Analysis

Hi community,

I've found something strange in boxplots in the Qlik Sense June 2017 release: it seems it has some problem with set analysis.

I've post this problem in a classical question on the community:

Re: Boxplots and set analysis

and with stalwar1‌ (thanks) we decided that could be something deeper than a mistake with my set analysis.

Here the full text of the post mentioned, hoping to be helpful and helped. Attached an useful app to undersand the problem.

Hi community,

I'm working woth the June 2017 release of Qlik Sense Desktop, and I'm fighting with boxplots. I want boxplot for workers and their sales, and a boxplot independent by selection of the single worker.

The first boxplot is quite easy.

dimension: worker

measure: Sum(sale)

Then I would like a boxplot independent by the selections of the worker, to compare the worker's behaviour with an overall behaviour.

dimension: worker

measure: Sum({$<[worker]=>}sale)

The problem is there: set does not works properly (maybe my mistake).

Attached an app with the example, and also a pie chart that is independent from worker selection.

I'm frankly doubtful, because for example R does not need a dimension for a boxplot, here a simple example (different data, but you can easily understand) with the result:

boxplot(x<-c(1,2,4,2,5,7,2))

But Qlik yes, and maybe this is the key.

However, my question is: can I have a boxplot independent by selections? If so, also independent by its dimension? And how?

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

It seems there is a bug in Qlik, could you help me?
