Doubt to create a Chart

icaro_povoa — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 18:24:49 GMT

Dear All,

I am new in Qlikview, and still learning how to create graphics.

I need some help to create a line chart that contain in Dimension the Date in weeks, and the Expression is the Sum of Hectares.

The difficult part is that, I need to create 2 lines graphic ( Plan and Actual) and the dates are in different columns but in the same line.

As displayed here:

Field	Planned Week Sowing Date	Real Week Sowing Date	Hectares
1	18/08/2014	25/08/2014	40
2	18/08/2014	25/08/2014	50
3	25/08/2014	25/08/2014	24
4	01/09/2014	01/09/2014	65
5	01/09/2014	08/09/2014	84
6	08/09/2014	08/09/2014	75
7	08/09/2014	15/09/2014	85
8	15/09/2014	22/09/2014	96
9	15/09/2014	15/09/2014	85
10	15/09/2014	13/10/2014	100

In Excel this is the table I should have to create the graphic. (Pivot Table)

Date	Plan	Actual
18/08/2014	90
25/08/2014	24	114
01/09/2014	149	65
08/09/2014	160	159
15/09/2014	281	170
22/09/2014		96
13/10/2014		100

And the graphic I need to create is something similar to:

I created the a new column (Week Total) will all my dates, and created the Dimension:

=date(if([Week Total]=[Planned Week Sowing Date] or [Week Total]=[Real Week Sowing Date],[Week Total],))

Now I need to create the conditional or definition from my expression.

Can someone help me to create this?

You can use CROSSTABLE LOAD prefix in the script:

CROSSTABLE (Week, Type, 2)

LOAD Field, Hectares, [Planned Week Sowing Date] AS Plan, [Real Week Sowing Date] as Actual

FROM YourTable;

This should result in a data table with four fields, Field, Hectares, Week, Type.

Then create a chart with dimensions Week and Type

and as expression

=Sum(Hectares)

Thank you for your quick answer. It works perfectly.

Just one more doubt.

In case that I want to "Hide" or "Make it invisible" the line of Actual when Dates>(TODAY)?

Is it possible?

Thank you

Do you want to filter the values in the script or in the chart?

In the script, you can load your resident table with a WHERE clause:

C1:

CROSSTABLE (Type, Week, 2)

LOAD Field, Hectares, [Planned Week Sowing Date] AS Plan, [Real Week Sowing Date] as Actual

FROM YourTable;

TABLE:

NOCONCATENATE

LOAD * RESIDENT C1

WHERE Type ='Plan' OR Week <= Today();

DROP TABLE C1;

In the chart, you can use something like

=sum(if( Type ='Plan' or Week <= Today(), Hectares))

Hi,

It is more interesting for me to filter on the Graphic, but the point is that I don´t want to filter both lines. In other words the PLAN should be till the end, and the line of the Real should be only till the Today() date.

What is happening is that my line is going till the Today() date and than jumping in a unique line to my End date.

If I add you suggestion it will only filter the "X" axis and will only display till the 25/01/16. But then I lose my Plan view on a longer forecast.

Any suggestion???

Thanks

I your attached screenshot, it seems that your rightmost x-axis value is NULL. Try enabling 'Suppress When Value is NULL' on dimension tab.
