Single Line Chart multiple dimensions

Dwyane — Wed, 21 Apr 2021 12:47:45 GMT

Hi All,

I have a table that looks like this

Month	Product	Expected	Actual	Name
1	abc	10%	3%	a
1	abc	10%	4%	b
1	abc	10%	1%	c
1	abc	10%	4%	d
2	abc	20%	7%	a
2	abc	20%	9%	b
2	abc	20%	14%	c
2	abc	20%	19%	d

I want to create a line chart that shows the months on the x axis and the expected and actual on the y axis. Ideally i would like the legend to show the product and names (so single lines for each name and one line for expected)

From reading the forums i believe Qlik does not support multiple dimension and expression. Is there any other way to achieve this? I have tried many things but cant get it to work. Thanks in advance!

In Month 1 you have 4 Names for Product ABC. Are you Aggregating your Expected/Actual %'s in some way? Or are you using 4 different lines as Set Analysis or IF Expressions? Each Name would then be in the legend.

I assume that you actually have more than just a single Product "ABC" and not sure how that will work for you in a single chart.

The best I think you can hope to accomplish by TRELLISING the Line Chart so that each value for PRODUCT will have it's own line chart. https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/April2020/Subsystems/Client/Content/QV_QlikView/Trellis_Settings.htm

The user will be filtering on a product line and so only one product line will be available at any one time in the chart. I would like 1 line for expected so in the example for month 1 it would plot at 10% and then i would like to see 4 names in the legend and so one line for each, so in total 5 lines. Does that help?

Easy Breasy then

Your line chart Title would be: ='Line Chart for ' & GetFieldSelections(Product)

Your line for Expcted would be: Max(Expected)

Your 4 Name lines would be use set analysis to use only their name: Sum({<Name={'a'}>}Actual)

I modified some of the data so the lines aren't your numbers but this is what it looks like:

But then I would need a set analysis for every name? The names could change, apologies the table I provided was just a sample it could go up to 15-20 names and depending on the product that could change. Can I do the set analysis dynamically?

Sorry there is no way to automate the generation of 15-20 expressions.

That is where the TRELLIS will come in handy. It will iterate through all of the names you have for whatever product is selected.
