Can you explain what you consider to be the labels of the bar and the line chart?

Hi Gysbert (maxime66 speaking with other profile)

My explanation was not very clear, an example of what i expect is better (Excel file attached).

Afaik what you want is not possible. And from a ux and data visualization point of view that is actually a good thing in this case. So, if you want to create that kind of dysfunctional chart you'll have to find some other tool

Thanks anyway !

But i don't see the "Dysfunctional" in that , it's a kind of very basic option in many softwares that is missing in Qlik solution.

Yes, most BI software is capable of creating, and indeed promotes the creation of, completely dysfunctional information displays.

Seems you have a lot of Qlikview's stock options

I love the Qlik solutions (4 years using it) , but sometimes (like other softs) it has some incredibly deficiencies:

One of them : no native way too display values inside Pie charts !!!!!

For me this is a real "dysfunction"

You might consider using Qliksense instead and get a new extensions from qlik branch

This is a freeware Jave applets developed to enrich qliksense with new charts and graphs that are limited in qlikview

I could tell you what I think of your requirement, but that has been written down by one of the foremost experts in the field already: http://www.perceptualedge.com/articles/visual_business_intelligence/save_the_pies_for_dessert.pdf‌

This quote from the top of page 4 sums it up:

"We turned the pie chart into an awkwardly arranged equivalent of a table of labels and values."

Hi,

Can you explain your solution, please

Re: Vertical Label

Two charts on top of each other. One with the labels horizontally and one on top with the labels vertically.
