Protocol for creating Sense measures for easy use by Users

timsaddler — Mon, 14 May 2018 09:50:59 GMT

Hi , does anyone have a good idea on this subject?

For instance some of my variables contain set analysis for Year to Date and Prior Year to Date.

Example :- Name = "vIncidentsLastYear "

Definition Count(DISTINCT(IncidentId*Cal_YTD_LY))

I then have to explain to the user that the formula needs to be $(vIncidentsLastYear) which isn't very user friendly at all.

Anyone got a better solution?

Why don't you use Master Items / Measures and create a new measure called IncidentsLastYear with your definition?

It should be easy for your users to then use this directly just like a field....

My Qliksense user is the first one to want to do this - i had forgotten that measures could be master items !

nb - we are heavily orientated towards Qlikview

Hi Tim, on a different note - (just providing additional info when it comes to ease of use and business user interaction) - they can also easily create time based measures and store them in the Master Items, by using the Calendar Measures feature:

Just in case something like this comes up.

Thanks for your question.
