Creating a combo chart with one line and two bars

Wed, 17 Jun 2015 20:13:31 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am new to QlikView and I am trying to create a combo chart to cumulatively sum the number of new customers this month (MTD), last month (PM), and last year (PY) with the following properties:

There are 8 districts. I have created a container with a tab for each district. So for District 1, for example, I want to use a combo chart to show the cumulative total of new customers in District 1 for MTD (line chart), PM (bar chart), and PY (bar chart). I am having trouble with the expressions because the only one I have is sum(customercount). I then use the accumulate feature on the Expressions tab to get the cumulative total (I'm sure there is a better way?). I don't know how to fix the combo chart for these three variables and to tell QlikView that the line is the MTD and the two bars are for PM and PY. I also want a legend for MTD, PM, and PY instead of having these labels on the x axis as well as a different color to represent each one. The screenshot below shows the current state of my chart.

I have a lot of issues... I appreciate any help you can give me.

Thank you!

Melanie

You definitely need three expressions to show a combo with two bars and one line. So you need to work in a different way.

Can you post a sample qvw file?

Hi Melanie

Thank you for the sample file.

I think that this is what you want.

I've modified just the District 1 chart, leaving the rest to you. 🙂

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Regards

Agis

Thanks, Agis. I notice that there is only MTD in the Time Period list box.

I can't view the PM and PY on the chart...only MTD. I need to view all

three expressions at once. Am I not enabling something?

Thanks,

Melanie

Never mind! There was something wrong with my SQL query that told

everything to come in as MTD. I fixed it and now I can see all three

expressions on the chart.
