Hi All,

Good Day!

I am new to Qlikview. Do you know what is the difference between adding an additional expression or an reference line in a line chart?

Thanks.

The value of an expression will be plotted separately for each dimension value. For example, if the dimension is "Year" and the expression is "Sum(Sales)" each Year point will have a different value.

A reference line is plotted at the same value across all dimensions, and can be used to show something like a target value that would be the same for all Years.

I suspect you know the above and asking about using a constant expression as a reference line. The differences I can think of are:

1. Reference line has a label property.

2. Reference line is not "data", therefore would not get exported to excel or scale the chart.
