Missing bar plot when using island

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Dear all,

I am using a data island for plotting multiple KPIs. However, for a certain dimension it does not work and I do not get the mistake.

In case I am not using an island it works out.

See attached for the example.

Many thanks!

Not sure why it isn't working properly, but it works if I introduce an alternate state. Check out the attachment

Ok that is weird.

Any chance to avoid alternate state due to known nprinting on-demand issues?

Not sure I understand the behavior well enough to do this without alternate state. Seems like a bug to me, but have not read or heard about this before to confirm.

Ok, that is too bad. Can I report this somewhere?

There is a weird thing happening.

When I adjust the chart in my document as you proposed nothing happens. When I copy this chart to your document it works fine.

Is there any document settings I am missing?

I just created an alternate state, no other change

Mhh I did so too... Which Qlikview version are you using? But that cannot be the problem as it works when copying it into your document?!

I am using QV12 and you are right, you are also opening the application. But that is just weird. I am not sure what might not be working here

Ok. Can you try whether this is working at your machine? I have made all the adjustments including the alternate state, but nothing happens. Would like to know whether this is something weird on my machine

I see the problem. You need to clear out selection in Company field in your alternate state... See attached now

Ok thanks!

Can you set this by default somehow?

There is one problem that seems to come from this in my original document. However, I cannoted reproduce it in the attached examples....

When I try to apply the alternate state adjustment, depending on the selection, some KPIs are not display. Sometimes missing for certain companies and so on... Unfortunately, I cannot upload that file. Any suggestions where to look at?

Yes, this should be the default. The problem is when we create alternate state for the first time, it carry overs the selection from default state to the alternate state. But once the selections are removed, they will not carry over. So you are good with that regards.

To answer your second question, I think I am not completely sure what might be going on. May be if you can share some screenshot or something which might help us see a glimpse of the issue, we might be able to help you better

Ok, that is good to know.

Solved the issue already by ticking "Suppress Zero Values".
