How to add more than 15 measures in Combo chart?

divyathomas — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 17:49:12 GMT

I have a dimension (year) and 1 measure with 25 segments/categories that should be represented as a stacked bar and 1 measure represented as a line. So I used a combo chart where I added each of the 25 segments as a separate measure using this: COUNT(if(Cat_Type='A', Serial_ID)). But the combo chart only seems to allow 15 measures. So I added the rest as alternate measures. Is there a way, I can add more than 15 measures in the combo chart or else sort by count so the top 15 measures are dynamically displayed in measures when filters are applied and the rest in alternate measures? Or else is there is some other way to display this other than a combo chart ?? Because as long as I can make a stacked bar with 25 categories and a line, it would work for me. I am using Qlik 2019. Thanks in advance.

hII @divyathomas , my suggestion is :too many columns, use a table

the first time i saw the video where the combo chart was used to create the stacked bar with a line i was amazed. the next evolution to that was remove the hard coding:

data: load 'Value' & (floor(rand()*20)+1) as dim, date(today()-floor(rand()*15)) as Date, floor(rand()*1000)/100 as Amount; load 1 as num AutoGenerate(500); set vDim1= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',1); set vDim2= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',2); set vDim3= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',3); set vDim4= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',4); set vDim5= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',5); set vDim6= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',6); set vDim7= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',7); set vDim8= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',8); set vDim9= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',9); set vDim10= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',10); set vDim11= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',11); set vDim12= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',12); set vDim13= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',13); set vDim14= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',14); set vDim15= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',15); set vDim16= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',16); set vDim17= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',17); set vDim18= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',18); set vDim19= =subfield(concat(distinct dim,','),',',19);

obviously, the stack should be finite. use the dimension:
=vDim1

expression
= sum({<dim={'$(vDim1)'}>}Amount) also, add a condition =count( distinct dim)>=1

then just replicate it.

but that does not address your question. i did a combo using 20 dimensions (see attached) yes it is possible. maybe there was just a problem with your expression. i had the same problem with combo charts before and it was so easy to blame it

sorry correction:

obviously, the stack should be finite. use the ~~dimension~~: following as label:
=vDim1

also in the picture, i just kept copying the expression and didnt bother to change the numbers
