Colour scatter points relative to reference lines

robmarr789 — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Can any one show me how to colour the scatter points on this chart based on the following rules

1. If points are in top right quadrant then colour Green

2. If points are in bottom right then colour Red

3. If points are in bottom left then colour Orange

4. If points are in top left then colour blue

Bare in mind the reference points are set relative to the percentile so will move as and when new data is added.

Why a new post?

What's the difference with https://community.qlik.com/thread/301500 ?

If you look the source data is formatted differently meaning my expressions are different. I'm not sure how to rearrange the colour definition

OkOk

Let's work step by step.

First . in the expressions, you need to use set analysis

"Sales",

SUM({<Year = {"=$(=Year(Today()))"}>}Sales)

"Variance"

SUM({<Year = {"=$(=Year(Today()))"}>}Sales)-SUM({<Year = {"=$(=Year(Today())-1)"}>}Sales)

Thanks for the help. Now my chart looks like this?

Here's a first step implementation ...

I added a YearType column in the script, with values PY (Present Year) and LY (Last Year), null otherwise

Please note that Today is calculated at Refresh Time ... you should probably use the Now function

Please note that with the given data you only have two "quadrants"

Good,

You can now apply formulas similar to the one we saw before

Sorry I'm confused the points on the chart are not displayed as they were before.

For instance there are no negative variances

When I opened the original app, there were no data

Sorry this has become too complicated for my skill level. I wanted a solution similar to the first post without having to use set analysis.

Don't worry, thanks for your help though

Ok what about creating two columns in the script on wontaining Sales for current year and another for previous year?

Unfortunately the sales will always come in in one column. i.e. a ledger

Can it not be done without using set analysis

In the script you can use a preceding load:

LET CY=Num#(Year(Today()));

LOAD CustomerGroupName, Date,

if(Num#(Trim([Year]))=$(CY), Sales) as Sales_CY,if(Year=$(CY)-1,Sales) as Sales_PY;

LOAD * Inline [

CustomerGroupName, Date, Sales, Year

....

in this way you read a table with the following columns

CustomerGroupName, Date, Sales, Year

and you get in qlik a table with the following columns

CustomerGroupName, Date, Sales_CY, Sales_PY
