Help with displaying specific information in a chart.

Hi, i am trying to display information in a chart without having to make any selections.

I have several REGIONAL MANAGERS who each have 10+ stores. I have loaded in a crosstable which has ordering information by DEPARTMENT level and then TOTAL STORE for each of the stores.

I want to create a Gauge chart for each REGIONAL MANAGER which they can click on to see the TOTAL STORE result without making any selections. (There will be a seperate chart displaying stats for any manual selections made).

I am ok with creating all of the charts, i just dont know how to make the chart only display information for a regional manager rather than everything.

Can anyone please help??

Hi,

You can achieve this using set analysis. There is good description about use of set analysis in Qlikview help.

Thanks

Set analysis is one way of solving this, but given your requirement to display the information for the manager without them having to make a selection, I'd recommend taking a look at SECTION ACCESS. This will allow you to tie each manager to the departments that they have visibility into and what totals they therefore can see. When a manager opens the document, they will be prompted for a credential and that will limit the data that they see within the document (by department).

The script section of the QV Reference manual has a good description of how to setup section access in your document. Consider who needs to see what and if anyone needs the super view as you design this.

Good luck
