categories on dimension axe

Fri, 13 May 2011 07:13:12 GMT

Hi,

I’m new at QlikView and use the free version (QVPE – personal edition).

I want to create a diagram like this one (made in excel, see attachment).

My problem is creating the categories on the dimension axe. Every category sums up the values in its ranges. How can I make these in a diagram without making any (complicated) entries in the script?

Thank you for your suggestions!

Regards

Martina

Hi Martina,

Welcom to Qlikview.

What you should use is a Bar Charts and set the sybtype (Tab Slyle) to Grouped.

That is the way to make a diagram as shown in your example.

If you need to know how to make it exacly please share your excel (are an example ) with us.

Good luck,

Dennis.

Hi Dennis,

unfortunately I cannot set the style to grouped – this section is grey.

Please see my example in excel; I attach it to this e-mail I hope that works. This excel example looks like my chart in Qlik View.

Thanks and regards

Martina

Hi Dennis,

I can’t open the file; I use the free version. Could you post this as a picture or excel?

Hi Dennis,

this is very similar to what I already have I think. What would you do to show the values in categories, e.g. the sum of 0 until 5 on the x-axis as one value? And another value for 6-10 and so on?

I see what you mean.

What you need is an extra dimension.

The easiest way is to add a colom to your Excel file.

Some thing like GroupID : 0-5, 6-10, 11-15 etc.

Then add this group as a second dimension.

To build the diagram in Excel is no problem, but I’d like to switch my report (which consists of many of this diagrams and a lot more data) to qlik view to spend less time on it…

I created a file like that to build up some categories:

0-5 <5

6-10 <10

11-14 <15

and so on;

and loaded it via script into Qlik View. Then I added these categories as a second dimension. But Qlik View doesn’t group the values. See:

The problem is I think to get a connection between the values (received through the formula “count”) and the categories!?? How can I tell it that values up to 5 are shown only as category “<5”??

At the moment I get my data for the diagramm with the count formula Count ([name]).

Is it possible and if yes how to get the data like this: count ([name]) if <=5 as one formula and as 2nd formula count ([name]) if >5 and <= 10 and so on ??
