Thanks for the reply Sreenivas,

That we have to do manually right?. Is there any property to set in qlikview so that while openings application itself It should get resized to the appropriate screen size ?

You can create a macro that runs each time the document opens, like this:

ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet.FitZoomToWindow

ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet.ApplyZoomToAllSheets

This way the zoom is applied to all sheets and you don't have to mind anymore if you change your screen

Hi,

I tried to follow your instructions and created a macro as follow in the module:

Sub ZoomToFitWindow()

ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet.FitZoomToWindow

ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet.ApplyZoomToAllSheets

End Sub

Then in the document setting I called the macro on open by calling module name: ZoomToFitWindow

It didn't work!

Any idea?

Best,

Alec

BEWARE: Macro's like this only work in IE Plugin mode, not AJAX mode. So in the QV Desktop always when testing check how it behaves using Web View as well as normal mode.

It is unpleasant to spend time developing something in QV Desktop only to find it don't work with users addicted to Chrome.

Always design your dashboards for the smallest resolution monitor it will be used on, this used to be 1024 but in some organisations with money to splash it is now bigger. I have a huge desktop monitor which is great, but always design for 1024.

Some suggestions:

Look up Stephen Few on the web and read his books on data visualisation, or at the least his blog posts
If you have more data than 1024 allows never force people to scroll to the right, scrolling down is less painful to users but still worth avoiding if at all possible
Read Stephen Few again
Surf the web and look what other web sites do, does this website auto size ? How about Facebook ?
Handling differing monitor resolutions is a perennial issue and is not just a QlikView quirk.

Bill,

Thank you for the details.. I am just interested in testing the macro and find why it is not working.

Best,

Hi Moolemane,

There is no option like Qlik Sense,in QlikView ,

why because Qlik Sense don't have a sheet level scroll option so it is automatically resizing the charts with in the same sheet but QlikView haves the option sheet Scroll bars .

As per my knowledge QlikView Charts will start from the Axis we specified .

Shrinking of charts is not available in QV and QS.
