Dynamically populate an alternate state

Hi all !

I'm using alternate states in Qlik Sense with an excellent extension. It works fine.

But I'm challenged on a specific subject and I think I will probably loose this challenge .

We're analysing a population and we want to compare 2 subsets of this population. With alternate states => No pb.

But today the question is :

After some selections we populate StateA. This subset of my population have some caracteristics :

Sample result :

100 persons,

70 Females / 30 Males,

40 are under than 35 years old / 60 are upper than 35 years old.

We want to compare to a subset StateB. This subset needs to have the same caracteristic and not included persons from StateA.

After an intense thinking, I can't find solution to do this in Qlik Sense.

With QlikView, I think I will create a macro. It will individually browse my StateA :

Grab the caracteristic of the person,

Make the selection,

Randomly select another person

and do this job for all persons of my StateA.

When my StateA is browsed, I populate StateB with this new subset.

My questions are :

- This job can probably be done with a Qlik Sense API, isn't it ?

- Do you know another way to do this (existing extension, native Qlik Sense solution) ?

Thanks in advance for any help !

Have a great day !
