Animated bar chart

[carolcandice]

I wonder how can I build a bar chart race in Qlik Sense.

who needs this? is this important for your business?

Sorry but don't look for feature only for gimmicks

[carolcandice]

I'm not sure I understood your answer.. 

Yes, it's important for my business. 

Are you telling me that it's not possible with featrures ? The only way is using gimmicks?

here

https://github.com/AlejandroEvolcon/AnimatedBarChartForQlikSense

you can download an extension. It is not possible by default, so for some special types of visualization you need extensions.

Ok. I got it.

Thank you!

I'll try it on Qlik desktop.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. 😞

It crashes QlikSense when i try to insert the measure. I have to close Qlik and restart it.

You could achieve similar results if you have Qlik GeoAnalytics Connectors by using the Animator extension.. but the animations are not as smooth if you are comparing this to some of the popular barchart races you probably saw on youtube and social media.

Hi,

Check out this cool extension built by one of our colleagues!

Use two extensions - BarPlus & GeoAnalytics Animator

Then you can get the Bar races, such as top 10 brands in the last 10 years as animation
