Help on replicating a chart from Tableau

Thu, 09 Oct 2014 06:54:01 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to replicate a tableau chart but not able to get the same result. Can you please help take a look and let me know what i am missing and how we can replicate the same chart in QV.

In the chart, I have Actual and year over year dual axis chart with three dimensions: Time, segments and flow. I have them in the dimension list for QV file also.

Please help take a look.

Regards,
Tina.

Could you please be more specific about where are you stucked? I mean, the values, the expressions, the line / bars, dimensions order...?

Hi - i think 2 trellis charts layered on top of each other may give a dynamic version of this.

In the sample below your original, i trellised the first dimension . You would also need to do set analysis to filter to IB.

IB on the far left is just text in chart.

With this approach i wasn't able to conditionally hide the axes so they repeat ... not sure if that is a big issue.

Anyways it stated to look like the same quality ballpark with these updates. (i also went with a dark background and white font)

Hey!

QlikView does not support true dual-axis charts like Tableau, but you can replicate it using a combo chart. Here are some steps to consider:

Use a Combo Chart
Add two expressions for Actual and YoY. Also, customize colors, line width, and axis alignment under the Expressions tab
Align Axes
Ad Cyclic group if you want users to toggle between original and duplicate charts

If you’d like, I can help build you the exact chart replica and suggest data model tweaks for QlikView to better match Tableau interactivity.
