Plotting a change in an average in a Run Chart

peterderrington — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 10:56:33 GMT

Hi,

I have a Run Chart that shows activity over a period of months, i have been able to plot a Median Average on the graph however i need to be able to show a change in activity on the graph which would then alter the Median average 'mid run'.

This is the current graph:

This is the type of thing i want to make (which is easy to do in Excel):

Does anybody have any idea how to achieve this in QlikView? I can't believe i can do it in Excel but not QlikView, i'm clearly missing something obvious.

Thanks.

How would you alter the median? Would you be able to share the sample data?

So the median would change from a specific date. The idea is to show what improvement (or decline) has occurred since the implementation of a new service.

The Excel data looks similar to this:

With Jan 19 being the start of the new phase.

Something like the below

Median( Total<Month> aggr( sum(Value) , Month))

ok....

I think I might need a little bit more advice.

I have [Month and Year] as the dimension (which displays like Jul 18, Aug 18, etc) and then the current expression is showing as:

Count({<AdmitSource={'A&E'}>}AdmitSource)

as I want to pick out the specific A&E visits first (there are three types and I will repeat with all three) with the Median average being calculated by this expression:

Median(TOTAL AGGR (Count({<AdmitSource={'A&E'}>}AdmitSource),[Month and Year]))

How would I alter your example to replicate what i'm after?

Hi, If you already have median available in data, how about just creating expression sum(median) in chart?

Re: Plotting a change in an average in a Run Chart

peterderrington — Tue, 14 Jan 2020 12:20:50 GMT

But how would that recalculate the median line at the point of change?

try this expression

Median(TOTAL <Month> AGGR (Count({<AdmitSource={'A&E'}>}AdmitSource),[Month and Year]))

If I put that in as typed then I just get the exact same median line as the one I already have. Where would I put in the identifier of the point of change (in this instance July 19).

Is it possible, once we've worked out how to do this to be able to add an additional change point?

Hi Peter

I'm assuming that you want to change the median when a signal occurs.

Typically, that signal is a run of 9 consecutive points on the desired side of the median line.

This run chart analysis is actually pretty tricky, so you're probably going to want to only have one measure per chart .

( 3 measures, with 3 unique medians, is going to be really confusing visually)

Do you have a flag column to compare if the current value is higher / lower than the current median?

Would you be able to share the sample data with expected output?

So what I'm looking to do is essentially reset the median line at a specific, given point in time. (in this particular instance - July 19 as that was when we introduced a change idea)

I want it to show the median line increase (or decrease dependant on outcome) as in this image (from Excel):

So that we have the next two images but as one image showing the whole timeline:

I can add the excel data if that would be helpful.

Obviously the image from Excel has the change point at the wrong point (Jan instead of Jul) but it gives you a good indication of how it should look.

Did anybody have any ideas as to how to produce the graph?

If you can share sample data with file it will be easier to get the answers.

Hi,

Please see attached an example of the data and the dashboard (in the next section as I don't seem to be able to attach two items).

The Sheet entitled 'Changing Median Line' shows both the current expressions and a mock up of what i'm hoping to create (by placing two graphs side by side - heavily filtered).

Many thanks,
Peter

and the dashboard.....

In excel file I can see only one sheet of data

Re: Plotting a change in an average in a Run Chart

peterderrington — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 16:27:28 GMT

Yes the Excel file only has one sheet.

The Changing Median Line sheet is on the dashboard.

Attached is the original template I used to generate the excel image.

How you derive Values in Example sheet from Data sheet?
