Trend Line for Scatter Plot

Trend lines were recently added to Qlik Sense for bar charts and line charts. However, I am still eagerly awaiting trend lines for scatter plots!

Hello @daviewales,

Thanks for your post. Going forward, please use one, and only one, label per post. Refer to the submission guidelines for more details.

Thanks @John_Teichman, perhaps the idea form could be updated to reflect these guidelines?

The title of the text box is plural, and the note beneath indicates a way to enter multiple labels, so you can understand why I thought I should enter multiple.

Hi @daviewales - I wish I could. Unfortunately, it is a standard component of the Community and not easily changed for a specific board. It is mildly frustrating. 🙂

it 's strange that qliksense has not this basic functionnality on scatter plot at the difference with a lot f other tools.

Its possible to add a reference line on a scatter plot, but it seems to work only with horizontal or vertical line. ( i don't see a way to put the formulas of the regressione line)

Is there a planning for this useful features .

Thanks

That's exciting to hear, @Patric_Nordstrom ! This closes a big gap in Qlik as a statistical analysis tool (I hope!)

Hi @Patric_Nordstrom ! Where can I read more about the release of Regression Lines for Scatter Plots? Your comment is the only thing I've found indicating that doing that would be possible.

Thanks in advance.

Trendlines for scatter plots was "coming soon" in Spring 2022. Did it? When it gets added, can I recommend that the trendline could be written manually or the function edited?

The reason for my suggestion here is that sometimes that same line may be used to represent "Target" rather than "Trend". There may also be other complex scenarios where you want to manage it quite strictly.

For example, I have a use case where I want to show price stability over time;

1 bubble per sale
X Axis is [Billing Date]
Y Axis is [Gross Invoice Value] / [Net Weight] (I could do this in the load script)
Size of the bubble is Log([Net Weight])
My Trendline should just be a total Sum([Gross Invoice Value]) / sum([Net Weight])

I can even write it as a very simple formula, but it seems there's still no easy way to add that formula in to the a bubble chart as a line?
