It looks good and well-featured. But i can see you've only provided minified built artefacts on GitHub, not source code. This means it's not supportable long term, since we won't be able to make changes with Qlik updates.

This is a shame, it seems a good extension.

Sometimes a little bit better comes at a little bit of cost ;-). Jokes aside, we do offer support via subscription for all customers for this extension as well as our other extensions on Branch. We will keep our Branch extensions updated to work with later versions too so you will probably be ok to use it, but of course if you want to use an extension in a critical application you should always look for someone to offer support and some kind of SLA.

Yes,

export should work.

Please report any issues you find to our GitHub page https://github.com/ClimberAB/ClimberKPI (Or of course email our support if you are a paying customer.)

Hi Karl,

Experimenting with Climber KPI at the moment.

The KPI setup I currently have has Current Month and the Secondary is Rolling Average(6mo) and then with a trend line (graph) underneath. I tried using climber KPI to have the embedded graph behind but because I have locked the date on both measures it does not function.

Is there any way round this that you know of?

Great, thank you

1. Would be great to be able to fill the object (currently the white borders are too big)

2. Would be great to color KPI and it's label separately

Hi,

In the KPI extension settings under appearance you can set both the margin (None/Default/Large) and the font size (S/M/L) to adjust the way it looks.

Hi,

Thanks for the great job! It's a very useful extension I use in many of my apps.

Quick question: is there any way to change the target percentage that will show? For example, showing a coverage or realization instead of growth.

I see it always shows growth, which is great when you compare something in different time periods, but it's not very meaningful when you try to see something like sales against budget, where a direct percentage would be the way to go. A/B instead of (A/B)-1.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, if not, please refer me where I should!

Thanks!

Designed with great taste, Very Useful Extension.

One Issue - A Right to Left Option Would be Appreciated.

See attached Example - The Percentage in brackets should Be to the Left Of the Text instead of to the right.

Regards.

Hi michael.nordstrom ,

How is it possible to define a conditional color for a second measure defined?

Thanks for sharing this useful extension!

Re: New KPI extension released for Qlik Sense - Climber KPI

Hi,

at the bottom of the color settings there is an option for "Other colors mode" That will change the basic text color including the color for the second measure. We realize you may want further options and we are considering how to best include that in future versions.

Hi Michael,

I saw this example of yours. How is it achieved?

Thanks!

Hi Dafnis,

that is the hover setting that decides what is show. You find it under appearence/hover. Set it to "Details" and the gray background with additional comparison details will appear on mouse over.

Hi Michael,

In the example above is it possible to set an upper limit to the target budget? How is it done?

The reason I ask is that I am comparing a current percentage to a historic one. Sometimes the historic percentage calculation is erroneous and shows a value of over 100% (say 108%). When the target is above 100% then even if the current value is 100% it is perceived as a decrease compared to the historic percentage.

Thanks so much!

Anyone else experiencing that only the chart shows but the actual KPI (the number part) is not visible?

I am using v1.6.2 of the extension on Qlik Sense Feb 2019 SP1.

I noticed that if I resize the object (making it longer), the KPI text quickly shows at the bottom of the KPI and quickly disappears again, so my guess is it has to do with the part of the script that decides the positioning of the text.

Picture show before, during and after resize.
